Yes, there are calories in sugar free candies. Many sugar free candies use "sugar alcohols" which are not actually alcoholic in place of sugar. They do contain fewer calories than sugar, but still have calories. Candy, especially chocolate or those with nuts, will also have calories from fat, protein and complex carbohydrates. So while sugar free candy is less likely to raise blood glucose levels, it is not completely free from all calories. Also note that some sugar replacements should not be consumed in large quantities, as they may cause digestive upset. Check the labels.
