Sugar-Free Caramel Candies Chewy, Buttery & Perfectly Low Carb – Diabetic & Keto Friendly

These Sugar-Free Keto Caramel Candies are soft, chewy, and taste just like classic caramels — but with almost zero impact on blood sugar. Made with allulose (the secret for perfect texture and caramelization), butter, and cream, they’re rich, buttery, and incredibly satisfying. Wrap them individually for the perfect grab-and-go treat or homemade gift!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Truly chewy texture (thanks to allulose)
  • Only 1–2g net carbs per piece
  • Simple ingredients and easy to make
  • No sugar — blood sugar friendly
  • Freezer-friendly and great for meal prep

Ingredients (makes about 40–50 small caramels)

  • ½ cup (113g) salted butter (or unsalted + extra salt)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated allulose (highly recommended for best results)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) heavy cream
  • ½–¾ tsp sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a small loaf pan or 8×4-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the allulose and whisk continuously. Cook for 4–6 minutes until it turns a nice golden caramel color (it will bubble).
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly (it will bubble up — be careful!).
  5. Add the salt and vanilla. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture reaches 240–250°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, or thickens nicely (about 5–8 more minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and pour into the prepared pan. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until fully firm (1–2 hours).
  7. Once set, lift out using the parchment and cut into small rectangles or squares with a sharp knife.
  8. Wrap individually in wax paper or candy wrappers for the classic look (and to prevent sticking).

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best chewy texture.
