HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM:

- Erythritol powder will give a mild sweetness to this candy. As a replacement, you can use stevia, monk fruit, or allulose.
UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

XANTHAN GUM:

KETO CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- Keto chocolate chips are utilized to provide an exterior coating. Swap them with cacao butter, sugar-free chocolate bars, or homemade keto chocolate.
