I’m not much of a candy eater. However, my sis and her husband both like candy at Christmas – especially home-made candy. I know I have seen references to sugar-free fudge, but never bothered with the recipe. If anyone has this recipe would you please share with me so I can pass it on to my sis? Thank you. Any other recipes you might have for sugar-free candy would also be appreciated.
I haven’t made any sugar free candies. Splenda says it can replace up to 25% of the sugar in candy – haven’t tried it. I’ve had sugar free chocolate sauce made from Splenda and it was terrible – but many of the sugar free candies you can buy now are very good.
/me shrugs unhelpfully.

Sugar alcohols (xylitol for example) are supposed to be able to replace bulk of sugar, other than that maybe one needs a thickening agent like pectin if using other sweeteners to get the solidity, not 100% sure, and I know this was not entirely helpful either.

I used to buy a lot of “goodies” from Swiss Colony on line and through their catalogs ( which I still get ) and their sugar free confections, including fudge are very good. Sorry I don’t have a recipe for ya… I haven’t been cooking much lately.
