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:
- Prep Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate:
- In a large bowl, microwave the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix Ingredients:
- Add the almond flour and chopped pecans to the melted chocolate. Stir until well combined. If using cinnamon, add it now.
- Spread and Cool:
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper in a thin layer. Let cool completely.
- 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.
