ORANGE TART Sugar Free Candy Recipe
You’ll need a Silicone Candy Molds, Candy Thermometer ☺ AND need to be an ADULT to do this recipe. This recipe is EASY but Hot Candy can be dangerous so be smart.
Water
1 Heaped T. Orange Flavored Loose Tea
1 Cup Xylitol Crystals
2 t. Orange Extract (if using an Orange Oil use ½ t.)
Pinch of Orange Food Coloring Gel(optional)
½ t. Citric Acid
- Prepare silicone molds by lightly spraying with oil. (or just wet a napkin/serviette with a bit of oil and do it manually)
.
- Boil ½ cup water in kettle and steep Loose Tea in reusable tea basket for 5 minutes. You will only need ¼ cup of the tea for the recipe.
- In small pot measure out Xylitol Crystals. Pour in ¼ Cup of Orange Tea. Whisk then set on medium/hot burner. Get out Candy Thermometer. Tilt pan in circular motion to grab the sweeteners crystals that are hanging out on the side of the pan. Mixing is unnecessary, just watch closely.
- Once mixture begins to bubble a bit put in the thermometer ( I like the ones that click to the side of the pot so I don’t have to hold it ). This step will happen in less than 5 minutes. Watch the thermometer climb to 300F then remove immediately from heat…Xylitol will burn if you leave it.
- Carefully measure in the Extract, Citric Acid and the Food Colouring. Whisk.
- Let it sit for 2-3 minutes then use a Candy Dropper Tool tool squeeze the sugar free candy into the silicone molds.
- Let it set up on the counter for a few hours.
- Gently remove from molds.
- Store in airtight container indefinitely

Your daughter is just beautiful and such a sweet heart. God bless you both. 🙏
Awesome Mom
good job for using xyitol
Thank you for the info! Also your daughter is adorable!
Your daughter is adorable 🥰
Thank you for the video! :) Can't wait to try this! I didnt realize they sold reusable lollis! : ) we will be looking at buying them, and use our medium size molds for today! :) Also, you both are beautiful friend! 💗🙏
Enjoy! 🥰
Hi! does xylitol keep its cooling effect once it is cooked?
Hi Natalie G! Thanks for asking! I've not found xylitol to have a strong cooling effect, especially when compared to erythritol. It could be my personal taste perhaps but I definitely prefer it to erythritol in many recipes :)
@@4thejoyofit233 Okay! Thank you for the speedy response. Great video too
Where did you get your molds? Also my kids would love rootbeer flavour, where do you get you flavours?
I'm guessing you could get a thermometer like that off of Amazon?
Side note, the music especially at the end made it a bit hard to hear you well. But otherwise totally enjoyed watching.
check out Amazon.ca for molds :) get the ones that are heat safe and have the droppers. BulkBarn is great for flavours and thermometers :)
I HAVE ERYTHROL.. Can i make it with that
So sorry this reply took so long! I'm honestly not sure. I don't prefer the aftertaste of Erythritol so rarely use it.
That white granule is cane sugar or xylitol ?
Hi! 😊 it's xylitol
@@4thejoyofit233 ok thank you, so its 100 % xylitol or must be added with sugar? I heard xylitol is excellence in color clarity but not in candy hardness and appearance
@@multiolshop5894 this recipe calls for only xylitol
do you just let it cool on the counter, or the freezer?
Hi! Thanks for the great question! On the counter is how I've always done it. Not sure how they'd set up in the fridge but if you try it that way let me know how it goes!
I tried these and some set up crystalized and not hard like hard candy and tasted like flavored sugar and the rest didt quit set up after 4 hours going to try and remeltdown and try again
Glad you have them a go. A regular sugar sucker becomes very hard because of the sugar properties but because xylitol has different properties/melting point there may be some crystallizing. The should always become hard enough to hold form though. Not sure why your batch would only taste like melted sugar, maybe try adding more extract/oil flavour? Perhaps lowering the amount of water too if you choose extracts over oils?
@@4thejoyofit233 I did remelt them down, it took forever for them all to set but they are brittle I guess is a good way to put it
@@tammyhoman9550 Glad they set somewhat for you - the recipe does say it takes a few hours to set - did it take about that? If it took longer I'd be curious why and might try playing with the recipe some more to see why that would be happening.
@@4thejoyofit233 yes it took serval hours and I have one batch that after 36 hours all are not set but I am remelting down and going to add some erythritol to it, I made a batch using it and it set up within mins so I'm hoping it will help it set up hate to waste the batch because the sweeteners are not cheap thanks for all your advice
Did exactly the same but no flavouring as I didn't have any. I'm at over 5 hrs and still not set, like syrup. Some have fully crystallised and crumbled when I picked it up 😢 I've tried every sweetener under the sun except isomalt (which is the one that deff works but I had to order it online)
th-cam.com/video/sNFPDWrWFss/w-d-xo.html Have made these and they work! It's really a struggle. Here in South Africa we have Caring Candies which are delicious. Unfortunately they're made from Maltitol so we can only have 2 candies a day (small - mint size).
@@SephKane why only 2 per day ?
I triedit, following your recipe, and it becamed cristallised. Why?
Maybe lower the water content - that can help 😊 all the best as you try sugar free options, it's a learning curve but you'll get there. I learned online and from trial and error...been doing it for over ten years and it's changed my health
Hi can you tell me why it tastes like crystallized sugar
Please consider changing to Erythritol. They're 1:1 but xylitol has some serious health risks, cancer being one of them. Your kiddo is beautiful. Please stay happy and healthy. 🦋
Your body builds an immunity to xylitol (some folks may have laxitive effect when first using). Add small amounts in the beginning (like 10gram) and eventually you will not have side effects. I use erythritol often as well but the minty/cold taste it has does not work in every application. I often mix my sweeteners so that it's smaller portions of each and the backtaste or other side effects are minimalized. The fact is that sugar will kill my liver and kidneys...and other sugar free folks (like diabetics ) need other options. Xylitol is a good one, and like any new ingredient you have to learn the best use and benefit for your personal self. Happy baking!
Hello... struggling with getting the lollipops to set.... can you post your recipe?
Hi! They do take a few hours to set up on the counter. The recipe is in the description :)
Be careful xylitol can kill your dog that is why I don't have it in the house
For sure always be aware of pet safety - but chocolate and many other things harm pets and I still use them - just use wisely and don't let your furry friend lick your plate
@@melissajoy534 no, xylitol will KILL the dog within weeks, not months or "over time". i lost my CAT as they are even more susceptible than dogs because she licked out of my ice cream bowl that was in the sink. there wasnt but 2 tablespoons of xylitol in the entire batch of ice cream i made. i took her to the vet and they asked if she had been into any poison. i had NO IDEA at that point xylitol was poisonous. i know NOW but it took less than 6 weeks for my healthy baby to die and it was horrible to watch.. i was helpless and had NO IDEA. i'll never have xylitol in my house again.. and i tell EVERYONE.. they also call it "birch sugar" and "bochasweet". it can come from birch trees OR fruit (especially pumpkins which is where the bocha comes from).
