I have added whole nuts to these to give them a bit of extra crunch – plus they take me a bit of extra time to eat!

Keto Chocolate

Normal, commercial chocolate has far too much sugar in it, for it to be keto-friendly. That’s why these chocolate hearts require chocolate with a high cacao content (90% or higher).

It is then sweetened through the natural sweeteners of the coconut oil, a dash of vanilla essence and a bit of erythritol (a keto-friendly sugar substitute). This will not spike your blood sugar, and as long as they are not over-eaten, they will not knock you out of ketosis.  

Keto Chocolate Snacks

Keto chocolate snacks can be eaten in moderation, and these hearts are that small that they can be eaten as a treat on a special occasion.
