‘Tis December, which means that it’s time to make Christmas candy! Buckeyes, caramels, chocolate-covered pretzels, and peanut clusters are all Thomas family favorites, with buckeyes being the most important. In case you’re in the candy-making mood, I’ve put together a list of 21 low-carb Christmas candy recipes (all THM S or Deep S) for inspiration! Comment below and tell me what your family’s favorite Christmas candy is! Have you found a THM-friendly version?

Brianna, thank you so much for all the great recipes you send! I am a sweetcoholic and making those desserts makes me happy! I need to have some snack some days! I have been doing THM for only 1 and 1/2 month, and still do not get it 100%! but I am learning a lot from everybody! Thank you! I would like to see some FP snacks to have every day also! unless you already have them somewhere….
