Friday Finds - Chocolate Edition!

Another Friday, another round of Finds - this time featuring quite a bit of chocolate so we'll roll with it!

Hu Chocolate Hunk - I have tried and loved Hu Kitchen chocolate bars and when they came out with Hu Hunks, I was dying to try them. They are chocolate candies without the shiny glaze - just pure unadulterated chocolate. They did not disappoint. I love Hu Chocolate and I think these were executed perfectly. They are also vegan and paleo friendly! Check them out here: hukitchen.com

Tru-Chocolate- Tru-Chocolate makes different chocolate candies that are Non-GMO, vegan and kosher. Their chocolates are sweetened naturally with xylitol and have a good ingredient list! They offer chocolate covered raisins, almonds, and solid dark chocolate bites. Check them out here: tru-chocolate.com

ChocZero Peppermint Bark - I have already tried and loved ChocZero bark and chocolate squares which are sugar free, sweetened with monk fruit (in fact I have a discount code: healthyhappyandfree when you purchase from their site). However, I have missed out on the peppermint bark! I finally managed to purchase it before it went out of stock! It has little peppermint pieces in it and they really mastered the combo! It's not overpowering but just right. I love the Choczero products and customer service. Check them out here: https://www.choczero.com/

Phew, so much chocolate so little time. What's your favorite type of chocolate?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
