No como los caramelos.
I don't eat sweets (candy), as I'm British we call it sweets here.
Thank you

From what I understand:
No como confites. No como caramelos. No como dulces. General, I don't eat candy/sweets.
No como los confites. Specific, I don't eat the candies/sweets. As in: No como los confites con manís. I don't eat the candies with peanuts.
Someone please correct me if I am incorrect, thanks.
