The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...
Best Basic Low Carb Chocolate
I'm sure this recipe is out there in cyberspace somewhere, but I never found it. I stumbled upon it by trial and error and am I ever happy I did! This is THE best chocolate I've had since I first started a keto way of life. The applications are endless and I look forward to all the wonderful things I can make with this stuff. I know it's a little high on the carb end (if you're not counting fiber), but for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions, it is perfect. Also, when using it in ...

White Chocolate Bark With A Twist
I've never been a big fan of the flavor of coconut (I know, I know), so fat bombs have never held much appeal to me. Then I discovered that coconut butter (also called coconut cream) has less of that coconut taste. To make things even better, I discovered cacao butter. Cacao butter is the fat extracted from the cacao been. It smells like chocolate, but is an off white color. As soon as I started working with it, I realized this would be my ticket to making white chocolate. Because of the ...

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts
I was in a rush to get these done for Thanksgiving, because the ovens are going to be in full effect tomorrow and I'd have no time to make these delicious little guys. The dough was pretty crumbly, so I smashed them into the cupcake tin, and hoped for the best. I decided to par-cook them for a little bit first to try to give them a bit of sturdiness before I spooned in the mixture. I also chilled the dough for 30 minutes before putting it in the tins, because it was falling apart on me when I ...

Low Carb Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes, ‘Nuff Said
I had just converted my mother to a ketogenic diet, and her birthday was coming up soon. I was scraping at the air trying to find something that was low carb, delicious, and would rifle her cravings away for any type of real cake. I remember a few years back, I had made soy bean brownies...right then and there I knew I had to make a cake from them. Luckily my local supermarket sells organic soy beans, so I headed over there and picked some up. I went online to search for some recipes, but low ...
