Ingredients

KETO Dark Chocolate Toffee Pecan Bites

Melt

Begin by melting your chocolate in a double boiler (or a makeshift double broiler, seen above ☺). Melt slowly and mix often. Chocolate will take some time to melt. 

While the chocolate is melting prep a muffin pan with 10 cupcake liners. Lightly grease each liner before filling. In addition, be sure there is room in your freezer for the muffin tray to lie flat. 

Once chocolate is melted completely, carefully add chocolate to the bottom of each liner. Use about 2/3 of the chocolate on the first layer. After chocolate is added place the muffin pan in the freezer and let set.

Toffee

While the first layer is setting in the freezer begin the toffee layer. Add the butter and monkfruit sweetener to a saucepan. Allow the butter to melt and the sweetener to dissolve completely once the butter is melted completely add the nuts and begin to stir constantly as the mixture turns to toffee. Be careful not to rush this process – the toffee will burn.

Remove the muffin pan from the freezer and pour the hot toffee into each cup. Once done return the muffin tray to the freezer.

While the toffee is setting in the freezer pull the double broiler back on the burner and heat the chocolate once again. 

When melted pull the muffin tray out of the freezer and top each cup with a final layer of chocolate. Lastly, sprinkle with a course Sea Salt while the chocolate is still melted. Return to the freezer for a final set. Store in an airtight container.
