Candy. It’s the sweet stuff that kids (and grownups) are obsessed with and that brings out the inner child in all of us! But what exactly are the best sugar-free candies out there? Well, I am very well placed to answer this question as I have already researched and written 16 articles looking at the sugar content of and best sugar-free alternatives of 16 types of candy. So, I decided to write a post summarizing some of the best sugar-free options in each candy category. Each of the candies mentioned in this post is added sugar-free – some of the candies contain some naturally occurring sugar but they are all added sugar-free. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it?

What are the Best Sugar-Free Candies?

As a general rule, there are sugar-free versions of most candies available. Sugar-free versions of chocolate, candy canes, taffy, cotton candy, licorice, mints, peach rings, jelly beans, lollipops, sour candy, gummy worms and bears, fruit snacks, caramels, and hard candies exist.

Best Sugar-Free White Chocolate

White chocolate is renowned as being the highest in sugar of all three types of chocolate. This is because white chocolate doesn’t actually contain cocoa powder – instead, it is just cocoa butter, and the remaining “white chocolate” is made up of sugar and dairy. But what about if I told you that sugar-free white chocolate does exist?

You can read my list of the 11 best sugar-free white chocolates here – The Best 11 Sugar Free White Chocolates You Need To Try. Below are a couple of the entries to whet your appetite.

1. OH! Mai White Chocolate with Coconut Bar

Wow, what a list. 32 of the all-time best sugar-free candies around. Let’s face it when it comes to avoiding candies is top of the list. Why? Well, because traditionally most candies are just sugar.

As for me I personally always go for Taffy (I love the stuff – especially how it gets stuck in your teeth). I also avoid licorice sweets – just not my thing. Sorry licorice fans.
