Made this to curb my chocolate craving after my workout in short notice. Loved how easy this was and made a small batch to test it out. Added pecans, I didn’t have any swerve so I used a tiny bit of vanilla extract instead. Came out amazing and want to try this with other combinations like blueberries and shredded coconut! I love how I can eat this without feeling guilty and simple, clean ingredients compared to most store brand chocolates! Thank you Zuz!!

This is such a genius recipe! It was so good! I made it with goji berries, pecans, and shredded coconut. Yum! A little piece satisfies my chocolate cravings perfectly.
I used to buy sugar-free chocolate at whole foods sometimes – but it is often not fresh (it tastes stale way before the expiration date – probably because of the great fresh ingredients that go bad quickly), it is super expensive and I think this actually tastes better and fresher (AND I can customize it to my hearts content!).
Thanks again Zuzka!

Just tried erythritol, but has such a weird flavor/sensation once I drink water after, and now even when I breathe in! Ick! Tastes good at first, but awful aftertaste. Good idea, but I just can’t do artificial sweeteners I guess. It seemed to be better in small amounts in a smoothie.

Hi Zu…I did this recipe with modifications today. I needed a spread to eat on bread so I used 2tbsp of coconut oil soft and 2tbsp of 50% cocoa powder with sugar. I mixed well and my spread was done…very nice, with good taste and butter consistency! Thanks for sharing these nice recipes. See you, take care.

I sprinkled mine with unsweetened coconut, sea salt, pecan meal & it was good. It set up quickly in the freezer too! I think next time I might try it with half the amount of sugar for a low-sugar treat; it might be good with dark cocoa as well.

How much of it can u eat? Mine was a lil too sweet, which is crazy, or the Keto plan is working and my taste bus are changing! I added sliced almonds and shredded coconut.

Hi Drea, how much of anything you can eat depends on your daily micro nutrient count/daily intake, which is based on your current BMI and level of physical activity. You would need to adjust the micro nutrient count that Zuzka gives us for this recipe, adding the amount of sliced almonds and shredded coconut. If you decrease the amount of sweetener, be sure and subtract that from the counts.
Stay within your daily “limits” and you will be fine.
My taste buds also changed when I dropped sugars from my life. I am really sensitive to sweeteners now.

Hi again, Drea, I just realized that you were looking at a different recipe than the one I have tried. Here is another one from Zuzka, which has a few more ingredients (such peanut butter and coconut manna). This will drastically cut the sweet taste. I have tried it with peanut butter, almond butter and sunflower butter. It’s a staple in my house of food: https://zuzkalight.com/nutrition/peanut-butter-chocolate-bar-fm/

Okay, this is way to easy to make, and therefore, DANGEROUS!
