Keto copycat Butterfinger bites recipe FAQs

Here are answers to the most commonly asked question about these Butterfinger fat bombs recipe:

Are there any ingredient substitution options?

• Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener: Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, erythritol, or Swerve can be subbed in here at a 1:1 ratio.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Combine 1/4 cup of melted butter with 3/4 cup of milk and mix thoroughly to make the equivalent of 1 cup of heavy cream. For a dairy-free option, you can try full-fat canned coconut cream. I have not personally tested this, but it should work.
• Unsalted Butter: Ghee or coconut oil can be substituted for unsalted butter at a 1:1 ratio. Note that using either of these may change the flavor profile slightly. Using coconut oil (along with a substitution for heavy whipping cream) will lead this to being a dairy-free recipe.
• No-Sugar-Added SunButter: If you consume nuts, unsweetened peanut butter or unsweetened almond butter can be for substituted at a 1:1 ratio.
• Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips: A dark chocolate bar is an option here, but I have tested this and it just doesn’t work as well as the chocolate chips, but it can work if you need it to (or if you don’t want to use chocolate chips). You will need to melt it and likely include heavy whipping cream with it. Ideally, the chocolate bar would be 80% cocoa (or higher). Note, if you use dark chocolate rather than sugar-free dark chocolate chips, the resulting carb content may be higher in carbs, albeit marginally, depending on the percentage of cocoa in the chocolate bar you use. If possible, use sugar-free chocolate chips.

Where can I buy monk fruit sweetener?

I purchase mine from Lakanto and have it delivered. If you want to do this, you can use discount code REALBALANCED at checkout for 20% OFF your Lakanto order.

If you’d rather purchase monk fruit sweetener in a store, many grocery stores, especially specialty stores and Costco, carry Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener.

Where can sugar-free chocolate chips be found?

In this recipe, I used Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate chips, which I either purchase from Thrive Market, Amazon, or my local grocery store.

How can I make this a dairy-free recipe?

You will need to substitute the heavy whipping cream and butter for other ingredients, as indicated in the Ingredient Substitution section above.

For the heavy cream, I would use full-fat canned coconut cream and, for the butter, I would use coconut oil.

As I indicated above, I have not tested these substitutions, but I do think they should work.

Where to purchase a silicone mold?

I bought mine from Amazon. This silicone mold is the exact one used.

Butterfinger Layer: In a food processor, pulse pork rinds until finely crushed. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together monk fruit sweetener and cream of tartar. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Set aside.

Remove saucepan from the burner and stir in SunButter.

Then stir in crushed pork rinds.

Scoop and flatten pork rind mixture into silicone mold cavities and transfer silicone mold to freezer until hardened, about 1 hour.

Once bites have hardened, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Pop bites out of silicone mold cavities and set on prepared baking sheet.

Chocolate Coating: To a small glass or stainless steel bowl, add chocolate chips. Using double boiler method on stovetop over medium-low heat, melt chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently using a rubber spatula. Remove saucepan from heat and allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before moving on to next step.
