{Note from Jessica: Today’s post is shared by my sweet friend, Raia, author of Raia’s Recipes. Raia is a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of five crazy kids. After the birth of her third child, she was diagnosed with celiac disease. This discovery turned her bread and pasta-filled life upside down and set her on a mission to find out what healthy meant for her family. Aspiring to encourage other moms, she started her blog filled with simple, easy, healthy dishes. Stop by Raia’s Recipes to get plenty of real food, gluten-free recipes and much more!}

I must admit, before going gluten-free, I wasn’t much of a candy fan. My exposure was only that which most “normal” people find in the grocery store aisles and check-out lines. I was not impressed.
But since giving up gluten and processed foods, I’ve discovered a whole new world of dessert: homemade candy. Who knew that making candy could be so easy and so nutritious?
Today I’ve rounded up over 50 delicious and healthy homemade candies for you! There’s no need to compromise your health to satisfy your sweet tooth.
