Description

These Keto Copycat Butterfinger Bites are low-carb, nut-free, and sugar-free. They use a surprising ingredient, yet taste like the delicious candy bars you know and love! They can even be stored in the freezer to eat later right when a craving for something sweet and chocolatey strikes!


Ingredients

Butterfinger Layer:

Chocolate Coating:


Instructions

  1. Butterfinger Layer: In a food processor, pulse pork rinds until finely crushed. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt and brown butter, which should take about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in monk fruit sweetener and heavy cream mixture, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula. Remove saucepan from burner and stir in SunButter before stirring in crushed pork rinds.
  4. Scoop and flatten pork rind mixture into silicone mold cavities and transfer silicone mold to freezer until hardened, about 1 hour. 
  5. Once bites have hardened, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Pop bites out of silicone mold cavities and set on prepared baking sheet.
  6. 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.
  7. Final Steps: One by one, using a toothpick, dunk bites into melted chocolate, placing each onto prepared baking sheet. Transfer chocolate-covered bites to freezer to harden for 1 hour.

Recipe Notes:

How To Make This Recipe Dairy-Free: You will need to substitute the heavy whipping cream and butter for other ingredients. For the heavy cream, I would use full-fat canned coconut cream and, for the butter, I would use coconut oil. As I indicated in the blog post, I have not tested these substitutions, but I do think they should work.

Where To Purchase Silicone Molds: I bought mine from Amazon. This silicone mold is the exact one used.

Net Carbs: Per serving, these bites contain 0.7 grams of net carbs. The recipe, as written, yields 24 servings, and each serving size is 1 Butterfinger bite. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

Refrigerator Storage: Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Note that they may become soft, but will still taste fine. My recommendation would be to freeze them though.

Freezer Storage: Store bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you want one, pop one out, and allow it to thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.
