I saw this sentence in a grammar exercise
-IF YOU...........................SWEET THINGS, IT.......................DELICIOUS (TO LIKE - TO BE)
I think this is the right way to fill in the blanks:
-IF YOU.............LIKE..............SWEET THINGS, IT.........IS..........DELICIOUS (TO LIKE - TO BE)
The issue is that then I am supposed to rephrase these sentence with one of the following expressions: as long as; provided that; on condition that; given that; but for; without; unless; suppose; supposing. Which expression is suitable in this case?
If you like sweet things, it is delicious

All three expressions are possible but in reality "On condition that" is rather formal and unlikely to be used here. "As long as" is the least formal.
