This research contains the hard candy production process by substituting betel leaves and suji leaves with quality ingredients including powdered betel leaves, powdered suji leaves, fructose sugar, stevia sugar and salt. The stages of the production process include preparing tools and materials, weighing the ingredients, making a solution of betel leaves and suji leaves, mixing the ingredients, heating, printing, cooling and packaging. This research used a Randomized Group Design (RAK) with one factor. This factor is the concentration ratio of lalijiwa mango fruit with added stevia sugar which consists of 3 levels (1%:7%), (2%:6%), (3%:5%). It was found that F1 was the best formula according to 33 panelists.
