These are living proof that following a keto diet doesn't mean you have to stay away from candies.

Who said candies were always a bad choice? These low-carb candies are actually a good option for whoever is following a keto diet. In fact, they are very low in carbs (or even carb-free!) and rich in good fats. We’ll bet the hardest thing for you won’t be to make or buy them, but rather to control yourself from eating them all.
