Making your favorite keto candy is easier than you think! And with this base candy recipe, you can pretty much make any type of candy. From salt water taffy, caramels, hi-chews and hard candies, like lollipops or jolly ranchers.
This base recipe is so simple and only involves 3-ingredients along with just about 10 minutes of your time. No need for a candy thermometer because I hate having too many tools in the kitchen. We just use our eyeballs to see when this candy is ready to pour.

BASE KETO CANDY RECIPE
Makes 30 (1 square cm candies)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar free vanilla syrup
5 teaspoons sugar-free sweetener
pinch of salt
For Salt Water Taffy: add an additional pinch of salt
For Banana Laffy Taffy, add yellow food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon banana extract
For Keto Caramel, use sugar-free caramel syrup, add 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
For Keto Hi-Chews, omit the pinch of salt and add 1/2 teaspoon of LMNT watermelon electrolytes
For Jolly Ranchers, add food coloring, 1/2 teaspoon flavoring and 1/4 teaspoon citric acid
1️⃣ Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. If making caramels, cook the butter until brown bits start to form and the butter have a nutty aroma. This is called browned butter and it creates a delicious caramel flavor.
2️⃣ Reduce heat to low-medium. Add sugar-free syrup, sweetener, salt and food coloring (if using). If making caramels, add in the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Let cook until the mixture starts to boil.
3️⃣ To Make Soft Chews or Taffy: Continue cooking over low-medium heat until the mixture starts to foam and turn frothy. Remove from heat, stir in flavoring and pour into a candy mold. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.
4️⃣ To Make Medium Chews or Caramels: After the initial boil, continue cooking until candy mixture starts to foam and turn frothy. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and you can scrape a spoon on the bottom of the sauce pan and see the pan. Remove from the heat and quickly pour into molds. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.
5️⃣ To make Hard Chews or Hi-Chews: After the initial boil stage, continue cooking until candy mixture starts to foam and froth. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the mixture is thick enough to pull off in a ribbon if you lift it up with spoon. Remove from heat and quickly pour into molds. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.
6️⃣ To make Hard Candy or Jolly Ranchers: After the initial boil stage, continue cooking past the foam and frothing stage. Cook until larger clear bubbles start to form. Stir in flavoring and citric acid (if using). Remove from heat and quickly pour into silicone molds. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.

It’s nice to see a sugar free candy recipe that uses allulose. I hate when ppl make keto caramel recipes and use erithrytol without telling people it recrystallizes which isn’t cool bc it’s expensive and ppl don’t wanna waste their stuff. I love allulose and it’s what I use too :) thanks for sharing. I’m not keto but trying lower my sugar intake bc of my teeth and overall health lol
Making the candies with electrolytes will be perfect for biking! All the electrolyte/energy chews out there are mostly sugar. I’ll have to try these out for my bike rides soon! Thanks so much!
Temperatures are a must in candy making. I’ll be experimenting with your base recipes for sure. Great ideas.
This is fabulous. I had no idea a base sugar recipe could be so versatile in making so many different candies. Candy making seemed so intimidating, but watching your video has inspired me to give it a try. I have tons of flavorings and extracts that I can finally use for candy making rather than baked goods or Chaffles. My mind is sliming with flavor combinations. Thank you so much for sharing this and putting in the time to develop the recipe and formula.

As I mentioned above, Allulose caramelizes just like sugar, but at a bit lower temperature, so caramel flavoring is unnecessary.

Gonna have to order some molds and watermelon flavoring. Watermelon JR’s and caramels are my absolute favorite hard and soft candies. They are what kept me from eating keto for longer than a week. Im two weeks in and bought a couple of pouches of overpriced candy. Hopefully this will help. Thanks

So based on this recipe I ordered ChocZero syrups. Little did I know that ChocZero spikes blood sugar...both my wife and I who are diabetic had a spike of over 30 mg spike after having one tablespoon of ChocZero chocolate with our strawberries. Please be careful when recommending ingredients. So frustrating and what a waste of money. After my experience I checked...it is common knowledge in the Keto world that ChocZero is not Keto friendly.

The main ingredient in that syrup is soluble corn fiber. Wondering if just using that instead of the syrup would give the same effect? Could this also work to make chewy gummy bears? Maybe add some gelatin to one of these ingredients?

Can you use swerve/ erythritol instead of allulose? Also what can I substitute for the electrolyte ? Tfs
@Puglover130
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, she said you can, the monkfruit she mentioned is a erythritol blend . To sub for the electrolyte you would add a pinch of salt plus a bit of flavouring . So depending on flavour you could extracts, Candy flavour drams , or it’s possible that even SF drink mix could work.
I will be testing this out, thank you for making this!

Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

Looks yummy. Try a pizza cutter to cut smaller pieces...
Is Allulose preferred over Swerve BROWN sugar for specifically making caramel candy? If so, why?This will be my first time making caramels, and I have both types of sweeteners in my pantry. Thanks! :-)
You are my hero.
Why wouldn't you recommend using a candy thermometer?
Does the sugar need to be confectioner (powder)
you can just combine 1:1 sweetener to water for a hard candy
Also do you have any sweet recipes that don't use Stevia for a sweetener? Or pre made products? I already substitute for stevia . I thinking more of power bar type products.
Thank you This is great first try got it right about 5-7 minutes to get to that NOW AND LATER texture!🥳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑 I feel like the butter over powered it a bit could you use less and still get the same result? To make double? Ok to double the recipe?
ChocZero no longer has Vanilla syrup. They have discontinued it. Any other suggestions?
Choczero fruit flavors are not available. Can you suggest a substitute?
Does anyone have the temperatures for three use of a candy thermometer? Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing these great recipes! I would love to try these out but unfortunately, from where I live, there are no Choczero syrup available. Would you recommend an alternative syrup brand please, thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏

The best corn chips I've made so far are by frying the tortillas from A La Madre. You have to order them from their website. The absolute best corn tortillas--have no idea how they manage it but somehow the glycemic index is extremely low. Mild corn flavor, but they fry amazingly into chips. I fry half a pack worth at a time, cutting the stack of tortillas into eighth-size wedges. You can put a bunch in the fryer at a time--they don't stick to each other!

I had made the carmels at least 20 times...DELICIOUS!! My problem is that they never get firm enough...I've placed them in the freezer so that I am able to release them from the mold but when they return to room temperature they pool into a puddle.

How do you keep the candy from tasting like brown butter?
It looks like ChocZero doesn't make vanilla syrup anymore- Have you found a different alternative? Candy making is tricky buisness and wouldn't want to mess with the base recipe. It looks like their syrups are soluble fiber based so that's likely quite important.

Hello! Glad you liked the video
Mashallah looks so yummy
Good ideas, but here are a few comments: Correct English is either: MORE CHEWY or CHEWIER...not "MORE CHEWIER". When "-ER" is added to an English adjective, it means "more". Thus, your words are redundant and equivalent to saying "AM in the MORNING". As for the candy, why are you adding flavored syrups rather than pure flavors? For that matter, it would be cheaper to make your own concentrated syrups with pure flavoring, Allulose & water. Also, though the temperature at which it happens is less than for table sugar...(about 300 vs 320 degrees for sugar)...Allulose caramelizes like sugar. Finally, it would be helpful if you gave finish temperatures for these candies. Virtually all modern confectioners use thermometers rather than the old way of "soft crack", "hard crack", "soft ball" or other descriptions of appearance that vary with temperatures, but are all approximations..

ChocZero is keto friendly. Lots of people use it, test blood ketones/sugars before and after and still in ketosis. Dr. Ryan Lowery from ketogenic.com published a study a few years ago showing how soluble corn fiber (the type used in ChocZero syrups) doesn’t raise insulin or blood sugar. There have been a small amount of people who are diabetic with serve insulin resistance that do get increased blood sugar with soluble corn fiber but for the majority of people, that’s not the case. Like I mentioned I have tried other syrups yet. But I bet allulose syrup will probably work too.
