For many persons who are trying to lose weight on a keto diet or low carb diet, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas will be a bit challenging if you love to enjoy the festivities. Because while it has many benefits, the keto diet may not be the most accommodating when it comes to eating regular sweet desserts and candy. Luckily, we can create our own delicious keto sweets and low carb candy with just a few ingredients and the right keto dessert recipes.

Keto Sweets Ingredients

To make your flavourful low carb candy, you’ll first need a few basics. These are mostly the substitutes that you will use to ensure that your keto sweets can be enjoyed by you and your family.

Here are the top 3 low carb ingredients that you’ll need for almost all keto sweets:

1- Powdered Erythritol

Like regular sugar, the low carb sugar substitute, erythritol, can come in a powdered or granulated form. When making keto sweets or keto desserts, it’s important to use the powdered version unless stated otherwise.

Granulated erythritol does not dissolve as easily as regular sugar so using the powdered version will give your desserts a better consistency.

2- Fruit and Spice Extracts

Because of high sugar content in most fruits and fruit extracts, it’s best to stick with low sugar versions for your candy making and keto desserts. Depending on the season, you can also use spices to take your keto desserts to the next level.

3- Low Carb Chocolate Chips

For chocolate covered nuts, chocolate fat bombs, and chocolate barks, then chocolate chips or high quality cocoa powder are a must in these keto desserts. Most regular chocolate brands have added sugar so these brands are really popular in the keto community.
