Can I use regular white chocolate in this recipe?

If you’re on keto, regular white chocolate will throw off your carb count fast. Stick with the homemade keto version here – it’s much lower in carbs and sugar.

Why does my bark have a gritty texture?

Gritty texture happens when your sweetener isn’t fully dissolved. Powdered erythritol (or allulose) is key here – and make sure it’s fully blended before spreading the chocolate mixture out.

Can I use almond butter instead of coconut butter?

For this recipe, coconut butter is preferred because it hardens nicely, giving the bark that “snap.” Almond butter will stay soft and make it more like a fudge than a bark.

Is peppermint extract keto-friendly?

Yep! Peppermint extract is very low in carbs, so it won’t mess with your macros. Just be careful not to use too much, as it’s potent.

Instructions

Melt Cocoa Butter: In a double boiler, slowly melt the cocoa butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Low heat is key!
Sweeten It: Add powdered erythritol and whisk until fully dissolved.
Combine with Coconut Butter and Extracts: Stir in the coconut butter, then add the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust peppermint to your liking.
Pour and Spread: Pour mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading to about 1/4-inch thick.
Add Peppermint Crunch: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top. If using red food coloring, add a few small drops and swirl with a toothpick.

Break into Pieces: Once set, break into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
