Sugar-free Almond Joy Dark Chocolate Bark (Keto)
I’ve been living the no-sugar, low-carb, diabetic life now for about six weeks, and I’m happy to report that I am still enjoying lots of delicious foods! The Christmas parties have begun, and I’ve been craving the microwave fudge that I’ve made in past years, so I adapted the recipe, keeping all of the essentials, and came up with this. I can assure you that I’m not missing out on anything except excess carbs and high blood sugar… ;).
I mean… just look at this dark chocolate bark. Do you see the decadent coconut and crunchy almonds? Can you almost taste the creamy dark chocolate? I hope you can, and I hope you’ll believe me when I say that you’ll never miss the sugar.
Yes, you can enjoy all the goodness of an Almond Joy Candy Bar without the sugar and without the carbs. And it’s absolutely so easy to make. It’s even made in the microwave, and takes no longer than five minutes to whip up.
Recently, I discovered a low-carb sweetener called KetoseSweet that I love. It measures just like sugar (yay! no conversions!), comes in both a liquid and a powder form, and only has 4 grams of carbs in each teaspoon. It contains only stevia and monkfruit, and it doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste. I love putting it in my coffee, in homemade pudding, and in desserts like this bark. If you are living with diabetes or following a keto lifestyle, I hope that you’ll try KetoseSweet.
