The origin of Karadantu making is traced back to pre-independence era when ''Dundappa Kalaburgi'' from [[Gokak]] used to sell sweet in local market. Earlier, the sweet was made of  gram flour, jaggery and groundnut and the delicacies were popular in the local population. When a customer suggested ''Dundappa Kalaburgi'' that the sweet could be still made tastier by adding jaggery, then it became the framework to prepare Karadantu.<ref name=deccanherald>{{cite news |title=Karadantu of Gokak |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/535965/karadantu-gokak.html |accessdate=22 August 2018 |work=Deccan Herald |date=22 March 2016 |language=en}}</ref>
