This may be one of my favorite low-carb desserts! These healthy low-carb almond butter fudge slices topped with dark chocolate taste just like traditional Buckeye candy but in bar form and without the sugar crash!

Using only a few simple keto-friendly ingredients this is an easy recipe that’s great for taking to covered dish dinners or to just have on hand when you have a bit of a sweet tooth or are craving a chocolate bar.

These healthy fat bombs are best kept in the refrigerator so that stay firm, plus they’re just really great cold. If taking these to a party simple freeze them for an hour or so before heading out, by the time you get to the party they’ll be nice and soft.

Hi used coconut oil instead of butter and the base part was really runny. Should it be like that or is the measurement for coconut oil different?

Hi Lauren, that is expected with coconut oil but don't worry, virgin coconut oil will solidify once you refrigerate it. It gets solid quick when you chill it. No adjustment is needed to the amount.

Can you use all natural peanut butter instead of almond butter?

Absolutely!

Hi I just made these. Really tasty but the base was sort of granually (I'm guessing from the erythritol). Did I not mix the base enough or was there something else I missed?
Thanks for this recipe it is really nice.

Hi Alan, that does sound like the sweetener. The texture should be smooth with powdered erythritol but some crystallisation will appear after refrigeration. There are sweeteners that may be better for keeping it smooth (allulose or Swerve which is a blend of FOS and erythritol).

We have loved this recipe- our favorite so far of all the keto desserts we've tried. But, I didn't make it as is- I browned the butter first- and this made it absolutely delicious. I don't think it would have been quite so good without that added touch. Browning the butter really gives it that "Almond Roca" taste.

Thanks for the great tips, I can see how this will add a flavour boost!
