Did I miss any of your favorite healthy candies?

When you think of the word candy, what comes to mind? While some people might immediately think about Twizzlers, Sweet Tarts, Starburst, and gummy bears, my favorite candy has–unsurprisingly–always been of the chocolate variety.
And while candy normally goes hand-in-hand with empty calories, artificial flavors, impossible-to-pronounce ingredients, and added sugar, it doesn’t have to be that way.
These healthy candy recipes prove that it IS possible to eat candy on a healthy diet.
All of the healthy snacks listed here are vegan, and many of them can also be suitable for gluten free, keto, paleo, and other special diets as well. No one should feel left out of the fun!
Rachel says
These look delicious! Some of them I have tried and they truly are YUMMY!!!
What I would love to see is a healthy vegan Skor and/or Crunchie chocolate bar!
If anyone can make this happen, it’s you! Thanks Katie!
Nina says
Wow. I’m overwhelmed at all the yummy choices. I think I’ll do the Bounty Bars first! Chocolate and coconut are the best.
Natasha says
Okay, I love the inclusion of the sweet potato trick at the end. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it can’t taste like candy!
I want to try that, and also the Snickers ice cream bars. Thanks for the post, and I hope you both enjoy your weekend.
Kristen says
These all look so good. I want t try them all. I think I’ll make the coconut balls and the peanut butter cups this weekend..

Peanut butter cups, Ferrero candies, Twix bars, Butterfingers, and Nestle Crunch bars were always my favorite Halloween candies as a kid. I love making my own peanut butter chocolate candies…better yet, I’ve been baking my own sweet potatoes SO often that it feels like I’m eating dessert every day! It’s GREAT!

Hi Katie, I just made your butterfinger recipe and it was easy and so authentic! I didn’t have molasses, so I used extra maple syrup and it came out amazing! I am now looking for 3 musketeers, Thanks for all you do!!!
Cassie Autumn Tran says
Anything with peanut butter and chocolate is a winner for me! All these candy recipes look spectacular though–OMG and baking sweet potatoes that way TOTALLY makes them taste super sweet and sublime!
Kathryn Hong says
Hey Katie, how about salted nut rolls?! I love chocolate but it gives me heartburn! So I’ve been trying to shift to caramel and/or fruit-based desserts. So here’s your challenge, salted nut rolls!

We just googled that and it sounds so good! Definitely putting it on our list to try.
