Ingredients
- ¼ cup cocoa I used Ghirardelli
- ¼ cup unflavored whey protein
- 2 tablespoons powdered whole milk
- ½ cup low carb sugar substitute powdered
- teaspoon pinch salt about ⅛
- 60 grams Sukrin Fiber Syrup or other Oligosaccharide syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Powder granular sweetener in blender or food processor.
- Mix cocoa, whey protein powder, powdered milk, low carb sweetener, and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat fiber syrup in microwave until bubbles form (about 30 seconds). Add melted butter and vanilla.
- Stir dry cocoa mix into wet fiber syrup mix until crumbly. Using hands, knead mixture until a dough is formed.
- Shape dough into a ball, then flatten out. Cut into strips and roll out each strip into a rope about the diameter of a Tootsie roll. Cut dough rope into Tootsie roll size pieces.
- Wrap each roll in small rectangular pieces of wax paper if desired. Store rolls in refrigerator so they will be firm.
Notes
Can replace vanilla extract with other flavor extract such as orange or mint.
May be able to replace the fiber syrup with maltitol syrup or another thick low carb syrup, but added low sweetener used would need to be reduced.
The granular sweetener can be replaced with a low carb confectioner sweetener to eliminate the need to powder it.
