Low Carb Toasted Coconut Chocolate Candy Recipes

LOW CARB TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CANDY

Steps:

• Add your coconut flakes to a dry skillet and turn the heat on to medium.
• Continuously sir until the coconut starts to toast and brown. Turn off heat and pour onto a paper towel to stop the browning.
• In a small saucepan, add the coconut oil, cocoa and 3 tablespoons of Swerve sweetener. Whisk until well combined. Taste to see if it is to your desired sweetness. If you want it sweeter add another tablespoon.
• Add around 1/2 teaspoon of coconut flakes to each section of your candy mold. My molds made 38 pieces so I divided up my coconut flakes accordingly.
• Pour the chocolate sauce over top the coconut and set into the freezer.
• Freeze for 4 hours and they are done.
• Store in a container in the freezer or refrigerator.

SUGAR-FREE COCONUT CAROB BARS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend to combine until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
• Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more carob powder for "chocolate" flavor or sweetness, maca powder for caramel flavor, salt for saltiness, vanilla for vanilla flavor, or coconut butter for creaminess. If it appears too liquidy, add an additional 1 Tbsp (9 g // as recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) coconut flour. You're looking for a pourable liquid, but not too watery.
• Pour into cupcake liner molds, a lined loaf pan, or silicone chocolate molds like these or these, and let cool until firm. Depending on the temperature of your home, they may solidify at room temperature. If not, carefully transfer to the refrigerator until firm. Then remove from molds and enjoy. Because coconut butter chilled has some texture, don't be worried if the tops of your bars have a bit of ridging to them - that's totally normal!
• Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month or longer. Let thaw slightly before enjoying for best texture.
