Low-Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge (Xylitol)

"After reading about the many benefits of xylitol, I went looking for a recipe that would tell me how to add it to unsweetened chocolate and make my own sugar-free chocolate. I couldn't find one quickly and was feeling impatient, so I made this up and it turned out quite well! Note: My sweetener of choice is Sugar Twin (sodium cyclamate) ordered from Canada, which I believe tastes best and is safest. Combining two sweeteners gives a better flavor. When I made this with xylitol only, it had a "too sweet" taste. Also, I used crunchy peanut butter (which is why you see bits of peanuts in the photo), but of course you could use smooth."

directions

  • Melt the baking chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat.
  • Add xylitol and half & half, and stir to blend well.
  • Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until dissolved, smooth, and very hot (no need to boil).
  • Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
  • Press mixture into a flat container that gives the desired height for your fudge. I use a fairly small container so that when I slice the fudge, pieces will be square.
  • Chill until firm, then cut into 16 pieces. Store in refrigerator.

  1. We loved this! I used all xylitol and no other sweetener. Also used part heavy cream, part half and half and crunchy peanut butter. This is a great sugar free chocolate alternative.
     
  2. Very easy, very good. I added 1/2 cup coconut oil to up the fat and cut the sweetness. Perfect freezer fudge!

<p>I've been baking since I was six years old...but I rarely go beyond the basics. I love recipes that are easy, predictable, and delicious! When I'm tired or a bit down, baking relaxes me and cheers me up. Since I'm maintaining a substantial weight loss (or trying to, anyway!), I can't put too many temptations before myself, so I try to do it when there are people around to enjoy the results. I love baking people happy!</p>
