Keto Clodhopper Candy
Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (instead of graham crackers)
    • Provides a low-carb, nutty flavor that mimics the crunch of graham crackers.
  • 1 ¼ cup lightly salted pecans, roughly chopped (instead of cashews)
    • Pecans are lower in carbs compared to cashews and provide a rich, buttery taste.
  • 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
    • Choose a brand like Lily’s or ChocZero to keep it keto-friendly.
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (optional)
    • Adds a warm, spicy note without adding carbs.

Preparation:

  1. Prep Baking Sheet:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate:
    • In a large bowl, microwave the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Ingredients:
    • Add the almond flour and chopped pecans to the melted chocolate. Stir until well combined. If using cinnamon, add it now.
  4. Spread and Cool:
    • Spread the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper in a thin layer. Let cool completely.
  5. Break and Store:
    • Once the candy has fully cooled, break it into small pieces. Store in an airtight container or bag.

Tips:

  • Lower Points Options: For even fewer carbs, you could reduce the amount of almond flour and increase the nuts.
  • Alternative Nuts: Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds to vary the flavor.
  • Portion Control: To keep portions controlled, pre-cut the candy into small pieces before storing.
