Ingredients:
For the Toffee Layer:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds)
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Make Toffee Layer:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Continuously stir until the mixture thickens and becomes a golden toffee color (about 7-10 minutes).
- Pour onto Baking Sheet:
- Pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the toffee layer is bubbling and golden brown.
- Melt Chocolate Topping:
- While the toffee is baking, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together. This can be done using a double boiler or by microwaving in short bursts, stirring between each burst until fully melted.
- Spread Chocolate:
- Once the toffee layer is done baking, immediately pour the melted chocolate mixture over the toffee, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Add Optional Toppings:
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt over the melted chocolate layer.
- Chill:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the Keto Christmas Crack chill for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Break into Pieces:
- Once set, use your hands or a knife to break the Christmas Crack into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Share the holiday spirit by serving this festive Keto Christmas Crack at gatherings or enjoy it as a sweet treat during the festive season!
