In reply to Carolyn. If you find any recipe bitter it could be you need to add more sweetener for your tastebuds and it could also be the quality of the chocolate used.

I love dark chocolate so I hoped this would be a good substitution for chocolate filled with sugar. Unfortunately, this was extremely bitter with a horrible aftertaste from the stevia which I use all the time. I cut the chocolate back to 1 oz & it was still bitter. Added monk fruit sweetener to take away some of the bitterness but still had the nasty aftertaste of the stevia. I used Sweetleaf stevia & followed the recipe exactly the first time I made it. Will have to rework the recipe to make it fit for me to eat.

Thank you! I had a friend asking for ‘hard core keto’ THC infused chocolate. I made your recipe with infused coconut oil and they turned out great! I used less sweet leaf sweetener than called for and vanilla bean scraped out of the pod. I’m adding espresso to the next batch. I have so many ideas for additions! Chilies, cinnamon, pumpkin spice… great recipe!

In reply to Carolyn. Tasting the sweetness of the mixture is the key here before allowing it to harden. If you think it's not sweet enough for you when it's in a liquid form then add more sweetener before pouring into the molds.

I was looking for a sugar free chocolate recipe for a diabetic friend and tried this one. I bought the correct ingredients and followed the recipe. It tasted very bitter and not sweet at all. My friend threw it in the trash. I don’t recommend this sugar free chocolate recipe. Maybe a different sugar substitute would be better.

This looks so good and easy! Do you think adding some type of nut would turn out good? Say an almond or walnuts? I am going to try your recipe and also add a nut or two.

In reply to Delores. Brenda, I too wonder whether there is something I could substitute for the coconut oil. I ingested some of it a couple of times, & it caused me SEVERE abdominal cramps that doubled me over in pain, as well as some very unpleasant intestinal side effects.

In reply to Susan. My recipe plug in had a glitch and converted all serving sizes to 1gram, which I am nasally trying to fix but haven't gotten to all my recipes which is 6 years in the making, over 700 now. The serving is for 2 pieces.

Serving size is 2 grams…. thats .07 ounces..so one bite…Hershey kiss size? I dont know anyone, myself included that only eats one kiss and that satisfies a chocolate craving. It looks good however 🙂

In reply to Sigrid. There are many different kinds of stevia. In this version I used powdered stevia that has added fiber and it does not have an aftertaste as the pure extract does. You can click the link to see the brand I used. The liquid stevia is also not as sweet as using pure stevia extract.

Has anyone ACTUALLY made this recipe? I was interested in making this recipe, but when I got to read it, I saw there is a MASSIVE amount of stevia in it!
Only 1/32 tsp is required to get the sweetness of 1 tsp sugar. This recipe has 5 1/2 tsp of stevia. That is equivalent to approximately 11 cups of sugar! Thus, each serving will contain an approximate equivalent to 1 1/3 cups of sugar!
Testing recipes and proofreading your blog entries before posting can help people at home prevent wasting a LOT of expensive ingredients.
