Ingredients:Caramel Flavored Top-
4 TBSP melted Refined Coconut Oil ( I melt in microwave for about 25 seconds
Pinch Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Caramel Extract
2 Shakes Stevia Powder
2 tsp. Erythritol (or simply use sweetener of your choice, to desired taste)
Directions: Sprinkle a tiny bit of Sea Salt into each silicone candy mold. Mix melted coconut oil with sweetener and caramel extract. Pour about a tsp. of the flavored coconut oil into each candy mold. This made about 16 candies. Place the candy mold into the freezer for about 10 minutes, while you mix up the chocolaty mix. I use a cookie sheet to keep it all need and easy to move about.
Chocolate Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
1 Scoop (plan approved-I use Swanson) Protein Powder
4 shakes Stevia Powder
3 TBSP Erythritol ( or simply use sweetener of your choice, to desired taste)
1/4 Cup melted Refined Coconut Oil ( I melt in microwave for about 25 seconds)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Directions-Put the Sea Salt, Protein Powder and Sweetener into the "shake" maker/blender and blend to form a fine powder. Adding the protein powder to this mix just gives you that extra nutrition in every bite!
Pour this mix into the Cocoa Powder and add the melted Coconut Oil and Vanilla Extract. Mix together very well, and pour the chocolaty mix, evenly, into the candy molds, over the solidified caramel/coconut oil. Now, place this back into the freezer for another 15 minutes. Remove from freezer and remove candies from the mold, onto a plate. Store in the refrigerator. Try to hide these from the kids! Everyone loves these!
You can use this same idea for Peppermint Tops! Simply replace the Caramel Extract with a few drops of Peppermint Extract. I'd have done it tonight, but I dropped my bottle of Peppermint Extract last night, and spent the next 15 minutes soaking up the liquid and wiping up all of the glass shards on my counter top! Such a pretty treat!
Of course, you could use just about any flavoring in the "top" of this candy, by adding the desired "extract" into the melted coconut oil, and pouring this mix into the mold to freeze first. I would enjoy Orange, Lemon, Peppermint. These colors would all keep the oil "white" for the top of the candy, which is just SO pretty!
I tried making these tonight and my caramel extract bonded with my sweetener. It just kinda clumped at the bottom and I had to pour out the coconut oil into the molds, then separate the clump into the mold. It's quite interesting looking. haha
ReplyDeleteDid yours clump together? Any tips? (I used powdered xylitol, not straight out of the bag xylitol.)

ReplyDeleteNote-my caramel extract, straight out of the bottle, also separated from the coconut oil. I thought it gave it a "bubbly" effect, while saving the white color of the oil. Another way to enjoy this, would be to make caramel, and pour this on top last, because it will be somewhat sticky and will not come out of the mold nicely. Thank you for dropping in, and for the feedback~
