Wow, thank you! So nice to get such feedback from someone who appreciates the research and effort that went into making this video.

THANK YOU so much for giving me an easy and manageable way to make sugar free chocolate! I was using the bowl over boiling water method, and it was a hassle. Your method using the temperature and pulverizing the dry ingredients before pouring into molds is PERFECT. I used a combination of golden monkfruit and Splenda brown. Not quite as low carb as Xilitol, but AWESOME.. I have made over 10 bars using your method. Thanks again!

Hi there. Just to be cleat, it's not "butter" butter... but Cocoa Butter! This won't work with "diary" butter unfortunately. If you do mean Cocoa butter, then no, Cocoa butter is not salted. (I do sometimes add a pinch of salt into the chocolate mix tho, as it enhances the general flavour of the chocolate.)

Can you use Dutch processed cocoa powder in this recipe?

@LowCarbRecipeswithKids

I am not sure what "Dutch Processed" cocoa powder is, but we use normal, store bought cocoa powder. Nothing special...

Fantastic video. Question: I do one to one ratio of coca butter to coca powder with stevia powder & milk powder & blend it all. Do you think it's the blending that is causing the chocolate to melt easily after word or that I don't have a sugar to bind it better. The chocoale melts too fast when touching & bends easily. Need that good snap.

@rachelseo319

I had the sane question and found this : There are a few reasons why your homemade chocolate might have melted quickly. One possibility is that the chocolate was not tempered properly. Tempering chocolate involves heating and cooling the chocolate to specific temperatures to create the right crystal structure, which gives chocolate its smooth texture and snap. If the chocolate is not tempered properly, it will melt more easily. Another possible reason is that the chocolate was too thin or not thick enough, which can cause it to melt faster. Also, if the temperature in your kitchen was too high, this may have caused the chocolate to melt faster.

@LowCarbRecipeswithKids

9 ай бұрын

Hey there. Definitely wont be the blending. Chocolate gets its "solidity" from the cocoa butter (and I suppose the "sugar" helps). If your chocolate is melting at room temperature, its not tempered correctly. Tempering changes the crystalline structure of the cocoa butter, preventing it from melting at room temperature. Pay close attention to the section where I discuss tempering in detail, and follow my procedure of tempering via "seeding". I haven't tried with stevia, but the chocolate (cocoa butter) should not melt at room temperature just on its own (sans stevia or xylitol), so that shouldn't be your problem.

Hi There. I am sure coconut oil would "work" with the same measurements, but it won't get "hard" with a snap. I suspect it will be more of a oily, fudge like finished product. The thing here that make it hard, as with any other real chocolate, is the cocoa butter.

That is the beauty of going low carb! You don't really have to calculate calories to stay healthy and in shape. We try and stay below 50g of carbs a day.. which actually is A LOT, and when we do, we don't really worry about counting calories and still reap the weight loss and all other low carb benefits. (Although not as effective as a REALLY low carb, sub 10g/day diet). I haven't tried other low-cal options, as I wanted to make real chocolate, so I can unfortunately not recommend anything.

Do I need to add coco butter if there is already coco butter in the pure dark chocolate I am melting.... I see you add extra cocoa butter so I am guessing yes.

Hi there. Just to point out, that I am using Xylitol (alcohol sugar), not cane sugar for the low carb benefits. That being said, the "sugar" is just a sweetener. I would experiment if I was you and see how it turns out. The cocoa butter and powder are enough to form basic hard chocolate. Adding the "sugar" in a crystal form obviously helps to keep the "hard" chocolate structure. Adding honey or dates might cause it not to set properly, but I would really experiment with that if I was you. Let me know how it turns out!

When tempered correctly, the cocoa butter (not the poweder), sets "hard". This is what makes chocoloate so solid. Beef talo of coconut butter wont ever set hard enough to equal cocoao butter. If you keep it in the fridge, that should work, but it wont be hard at room temp.
