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.

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 and more clutter which is something that most of us do not need more 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.

It’s nice to know all the things we can make at home! I’ve managed to steer clear of buying Easter candy this year. But my husband already stocked up on jelly beans.
Hah – those were my nemesis in my pre sugar free days.

I used Katie’s egg dye tricks last year, and it worked great! The blue was very strong….no baking soda though…
