Chocolate Dipped Keto Caramels- sugar free and blood sugar friendly!
These Chocolate Dipped Keto Caramels are going to be your new healthy obsession… they are keto, paleo, sugar free and blood sugar friendly! These chewy keto caramel candies are such an easy, tasty treat! I have avoided refined sugar for the past 22 years so I have not had caramel in decades. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that with two simple ingredients, I could create a delicious, chewy caramel candy that was keto, low carb and blood sugar friendly. I love experimenting with ingredients and allulose has been a fun, surprising one to play with. Allulose is a sweetener that will not spike blood sugar. Read more about allulose in my blog post here.
Equipment
- glass bowl to use as a double boiler over saucepan of water
Ingredients
Caramel Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated allulose
- 1/2 cup butter (look for grass fed butter)
Chocolate Coating Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate I love HU chocolate use code NEST to save 15%
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Topping
- coarse maldon sea salt for sprinkling on top!
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat
- Add allulose to the melted butter and stir constantly with a chopstick or small silicone spatula
- Using a candy thermometer, allow the temp to rise to 300F and no higher! Allulose goes quickly from caramel to burn so watch the temperature carefully.
- Remove from heat immediately
- Allow caramel to cool for about 5 minutes, then pour into the heart mold
- Allow to “set up” in the fridge for about an hour
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil over double boiler
- Push the caramel hearts out of the silicone mold
- Dip cold caramel hearts into melted chocolate and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
- Note: These caramels will quickly become soft at room temperature. Keep them firm by keeping them cold in the refrigerator.
