Pro-Tips for Keto Candy Perfection
1. Whip to Stiff Peaks
Soft peaks won’t hold their shape. Beat until the mixture is stiff and holds its form when you lift the beaters.
2. Freeze Completely
The center needs to be solid before dipping. If it’s too soft, it will fall apart in the chocolate.
3. Work Quickly
Cold bars + warm chocolate = perfect coating. But if the bars start to soften, return them to the freezer for a few minutes.

Your Candy Questions, Answered
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes! Powdered monk fruit, allulose, or Swerve all work well. Avoid granular sweeteners—they’ll create a gritty texture.
Why is my center grainy?
The sweetener wasn’t fully dissolved, or the cocoa wasn’t sifted. Next time, sift the cocoa and sweetener together before adding to the cream.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut cream (chilled) instead of heavy cream and dairy-free chocolate.
Why did my chocolate coating crack?
The bars were too cold when dipped, or the chocolate was too thick. Let bars warm slightly before dipping, and ensure chocolate is smooth and fluid.Dairy & Eggs
Can I make these without coconut oil?
Coconut oil helps the chocolate set with a nice snap. You can omit it, but the coating may be thicker and less smooth.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes! Use a 9×5 loaf pan or divide between two smaller pans.
