Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy
This is an easy recipe to make which should certainly please many of us.
However, this candy really is a popular one for people to eat.
It is the ingredients in this candy that makes it so popular especially to the ketogenic diet.
The keto diet is big on anything that resembles a ‘fat bomb’. It is the fat bomb that both keeps you full for a longer period of time as well.
This recipe is actually friendly to both the keto diet and the low carb diets.
Both diets promote the low in carbohydrate way of life. This chocolate covered candy is certainly low in carbohydrates.
Both the low carb and keto diets depend on the fat content in food like this candy to promote weight loss.
However, that only works if there low to no carbohydrates in that food. This candy certainly qualifies for both the low in carbohydrates as well as higher in fat.
I must also mention how this candy reminds me of a famous candy bar.
That candy bar features coconut that is covered in chocolate. Also, that candy bar also includes some kind of a nut, such as an almond. It is perfectly okay for you to add an almond or similar nut to your homemade chocolate covered coconut candy too!
These chocolate covered coconut bars can also be called chocolate coconut balls no bake.
Anything that is ‘no bake’ makes me happy. That is because it usually means that something is easy to make and I do like when food is easy to make.
