In reply to Linda. The maple flavor sounds like a fabulous add.

Love this recipe! I didn’t have the syrup so subbed homemade SF keto maple syrup and a tbs of coconut oil. Perfect consistency! I also reserved a little chocolate and stirred the almonds in that before putting them on top of the candies. Looked vety pretty and didnt have to worry they would pop off. Thanks for all your great recipes!!

In reply to Mike. I have made this with erythritol so it should be okay, so maybe it does need to be added slowly to give it time to dissolve.

In reply to Lisa. OK Thanks, I do have vanilla stevia so I will try that next time and see...thought maybe with the liquid being room temp from the cooled chocolate, dumping all the powder in at once might have made it do that. Will had slowly next time and whisk. :)

In reply to Mike. I believe that can happen from the extract, but it also could have been a bit too much erythritol. It doesn't seem to happen if I use vanilla stevia or a glycerin extract so it might be the alcohol in the extract.

OK I just attempted to make this, and everything was going fine melting the chocolate and butter in the microwave...in fact I even tempered the chocolate and added half of it room temp when the melted stuff came out of the microwave, and it melted perfectly. But then when I added the powdered erythritol (before the coconut) the chocolate mixture seemed to seize up while trying to stir in the sweetener. By the time I added the coconut, it was done and a crumbly goop. Granted it was still tasty, but I couldn't form it into balls or planks without it crumbling up, I got like 4 successful ones but if I pushed an almond into it, it would break apart. Any tips? Add the sweetener slowly next time or don't temper the melted chocolate? I am at a loss. Still a tasty crumbly mix though 🙂

In reply to Jon. Oops! Yes. The coconut is added to the melted chocolate. I'll fix that!

There is no step where the chocolate and coconut are mixed together.
I assume the coconut and chocolate are mixed?
