Healthy Easter Candy Recipes

Easter is typically a day full of all kinds of candy. It’s fun to buy and eat, but afterwards the regret often sets in.

This year, how about trying some of these Healthy Easter Candy Recipes instead. They’re made with wholesome ingredient, and while they don’t have all the refined sugar and artificial colors, they are still full of flavor and fun.

If you’re following a low-carb diet, you can replace the higher carb sweeteners with a low carb option like xylitol, erythritol, or allulose.

Healthy Easter Candy Recipes

Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Bark

Almond Butter Cups

Just trade the heart shape for an egg shape for Easter!)

Healthy Almond Joy Bars (always a favorite :-)!)

We make these all the time.
Once you see how easy they are to make, you might just keep them on hand year-round!

No-Bake Coconut Delights

These look like cute little sweet bunny tails to me!

Gluten-free Bird’s Nest Cookies

Fun to make and fun to eat!

Naturally-Colored “Fun” Vegan Fudge

Lots of fun to make using all-natural colors!

Natural Blue Food Coloring (from an unexpected source)

You’ll never believe where this natural blue coloring comes from!

Homemade Sugar-free Marshmallows

The Homemade Sugar-free Marshmallows are fun to make and taste great!

Healthy Peppermint Patties

For low carb, use a low-carb sweetener.

Keto Mounds Bars

So rich and delicious, and easy to make too!

Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Easter Ovoids

(My son can’t have cashews, but I’ll be trying these with other “safe” nuts.
For a lower carb option use a different nut. The result won’t be as creamy but should be good nonetheless.

Sweet Potato Truffles

Ingenius, huh?  My son is begging me to make these.)
For a lower carb option pumpkin might work for the sweet potato.

Vegan Snickers Bars

A great healthier No Bake Easy Sugar-free version of the uber popular candy bar.

Sugar-free Twix Bars

These yummy bars are gluten-free, vegan, and keto with an easy no bake option–so you can have them in your tummy in no time!

Coconut Orange White Fudge

(Money Saving Tip:  Use my Homemade Coconut Butter for this recipe!)

Now, I love candy just as much as the next person, but it’s nice to get away from the sweet stuff, healthy or not, at times.  So how about these other ideas for Easter treats….

Non-Candy Alternatives:  Instead of loads of chocolate, how about filling plastic eggs with:

• Toys
• Trinkets
• Dried Fruit
• Coins
• Stickers.  Those “cheapo” catalogs of trinkets are tempting, but I’d rather not get a bunch of junk just to stuff eggs with.  It just makes more environmental waste–or more clutter.  (Something I surely don’t need anymore of :-).)

When we were still eating some sugar I would put individually wrapped Life Saver Candies in my kids’ eggs, interspersed with mainly trinkets.  We bought super balls, cute erasers, small whistles, small noisemakers.  Anything tiny that would fit in a plastic egg that I thought they’d enjoy.
