Make your own sugar free Halloween candies, or buy them? A huge part of Halloween, especially for kids is all about candy. These recipes are all about having candy without the carbs. Most of them are really easy to make, but if you simply don’t have the time or inclination there are a surprising number of commercial choices. All the products and recipes below are low-carb and sugar free.
Warning about the sugar substitutes: Some sugar substitutes can cause intestinal distress IF you eat too much. This is especially true of Xylitol and some of the other sugar alcohols such as Erythritol or Malitol. Stevia usually doesn’t cause stomach upsets.
If this is your first time enjoying sugar free candy, be sure to ease into it. Don’t eat the whole bag — start with a few candies and slowly work up to the whole bag! Just kidding … In the past I used to eat whole bags of sugar filled candies. Over the past years I have been weaning myself from “needing” the taste of sweetness. Today, one to three candies will satisfy me … the small taste of pure sweetness is enough to get rid of any cravings
If YOU are still at the whole bag stage in your sugar-free journey, do take it easy and start with two or three candies, wait a few hours before having more.

Xylitol Crystal Candy Recipe
Yes, you can make your own ice chip candy. I’d love to say it is easy, but unless you follow the instructions faithfully you are doomed for failure. If you follow the instructions carefully you will nail it on your first try.
I managed to follow the instructions (which is a major accomplishment for me) and got great results the very first time. Since then I’ve made crystal ice dozens of times with only one failure. The failure was because I used a water based flavoring essence. My favorite flavors are wintergreen, hot cinnamon and apple.
Make sure you get a pure flavor essence. Anything that has water in it might lead to recipe failure, so most commercial vanillas are a no no.
I use the LorAnn Flavor Oils … they are pure and strong, which is exactly what you want with ice crystal candy. They even have an Vanilla Oil flavoring. I find it weird. I love vanilla in many things, ice cream, cakes and cookies, but not ice crystals … that’s where I go for strong, bold and bright!
You can view their wide variety of flavors here on Amazon: LorAnn Flavor Oil
