Keto Chocolate Covered Nut Clusters - Best Fat Bomb Ever - 2g net carbs!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This recipe was sort of an accident as I was trying to create keto granola bites. I turned out to be one of the most delicious mistakes I've ever made. These nut clusters taste like something you'd pay a few dollars each for at a candy store. They are so addicting that you will need to exercise some serious willpower, even though they are only 2g net carbs each.

Article on paraffin wax in food: www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-paraffin-wax-1807043#
Yet there are NO sources stated for their claim that there’s paraffin in chocolate. Such a joke and plain uninformed information written by someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Chocolate gets its shine and snap from cocoa butter, which is solid at room temperature.
Sorry you bought into the misinformation in the article.
As someone inexperienced in chocolate making - why do salt flakes improve the flavor? Instinctively, I'd like to keep my salty and sweet tastes separate.
@@manofsan salt enhances any flavor. Try putting a finishing salt like fleur de sel on a slice of watermelon. It will taste sweeter than you thought possible.
Nailed it again! As an engineer who has done his share of customer training and even taught in uni, I really love your presentation style, demonstrative-ness, pacing, and clarity! Keep it up Steve!
👍
To paraphrase and invert James 4:2b, “You now have, because you asked!”
Hey are you David Schofield from Bergenfield?
@@hatsbani No, I’m not… at last count, there’s about 50 of us in the USA.
You could pour it in a 9 x 13 pan (sprayed with oil) then sprinkle the chocolate chips on while hot and spread them when they get soft. Then cool and just break it in pieces. Much easier! This is how I make my non keto nut toffee. It seems like it would work for this great recipe. Oh, and sprinkle with the Malden's while still hot. This looks really yummy!
Sure
This looks like the most delicious mistake ever! The fact that they are stable at room temperature is so cool. The hard part will be making them last more than a day.
I've been making room temperature stable chocolate by mixing melted cocoa butter and raw cocoa powder with whatever sweetener. Could be a good option to the wax. Tastes really great, smells amazing, it just really takes quite long to solidify (I usually let it there overnight).
Yes, I have done that too. The wax is probably cheaper but the cocoa butter is healthier. You can also add cocoa butter pieces and melt with the chocolate chips he used.
@@lf4193 indeed. Not to mention it's another interesting source of fat ;)
Can you supply the amounts of each that you use please? I don't want to buy paraffin.
@@elfsemail , my base recipe is 70g cocoa butter, 30g of raw cocoa powder (deoiled), 25g of erythritol (pulver, not crystal), some drops of pure stevia and a bit of vanilla extract. Notice that I don't use chocolate in this mix. The final result is a very dark and not very sweet chocolate, something like a 85% commercial one. I use this recipe for completely different applications, I never tried with the recipe from the video and I have no idea if it would work.
@ 😊 Thanks!
Got my Bochasweet order delivered today! Thank you Steve! (PS I will try very hard to order from Amazon through your links from now on. I really want to support your channel as much as I can).
These are my the best “treats” I have ever made. My husband who isn’t keto LOVES them. I didn’t pay close attention to the wax you used & bought food grade beeswax. I then had to add 1/4 cup Valrhona (the best) chocolate to get back my chocolate taste. In the end, they turned out to be the best treat for someone who loves nuts and chocolate. Thanks for sharing. I will be making these again. Will have to buy the same size cookie scoop as yours because my recipe didn’t yield as many as yours. Have to portion control!
Beeswax is a better alternative. Glad you like them.
I took these to our Christmas dinner and everybody loved them. They didn't even realize they were Keto friendly. Thanks!
Carol, what flavor of choczero did you use? Thx
You are so right! These are exxellent! I made these with pistachios,pecan,pumpkin seeds and used caramel and maple syrup. Also monk confectionery sugar worked really well. The salt flakes made it! Loved!
Finally made these and they are really great!!! I've been making keto treats for 3 years, and this is by far my favorite! My non-keto husband didn't believe they were keto, and that's the 1st time he's ever said that about one of my treats!
Great to hear!
*This looks so delicious. Thanks for the recipe* 😍
Oh, boy, I can hardly wait to make these, Steve! In six weeks I'll be moving into a real, genuine apartment with a full-fledged kitchen, and will finally be able to cook "for real" again (I've lived in an old motel-turned-studio-apartments for the last 3 years, and with no kitchen---only just so many things can be cooked in the micro and Instant Pot before food boredom sets in, even being keto-vore).
This will be my celebration treat to share with my local church brethren, all of whom are going to help me move.
Awesome! Time to get cooking’. 🙂
Yum! Maldon Salt is a game changer. They even have a smoked version.
Thank you for this fabulous recipe and the hard work that goes in to development and calculating nutritional info, etc. I have tried LOTS of keto (and nonketo) recipes from YT videos before and this is THE best one ever! You are so right about the salt flakes...NEXT level! The only problem with this recipe is the self control required to keep from eating the entire batch in one sitting! 😳😉😁
Glad you liked them!
They look amazing. I hope all of the ingredients are in your store -makes it so much easier.
Can I use Allulose?
@@eugeniastepien I'm going to order the Bochasweet because Steve said it's the best for this recipe, but I imagine you can use any heat stable sweetener.
@SeriousKeto I made a batch of these little lovelies today using monk fruit & allulose, and I’m happy to report they turned out perfectly! I’m sure it depends A LOT on the brand of sweetener as well as how carefully you watch and whisk. I do love the taste of Bocha Sweet and I’m not too put off by the price, but it simply doesn’t do well in my tummy. So there IS a good alternative for folks who don’t tolerate Bocha Sweet well; otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing ❤️😋
I just made the chocolate nut clusters and used the Malden salt flakes. OMG! The best dessert I’ve had since starting keto! You rock! I had planned on sharing at Christmas but what they don’t know......Lol! Next time, I’ll need to double the recipe, as my husband is eyeballing them!
So glad you like them. 🙂
It took me a little bit to “get to makin these” but, oh my goodness, these are so incredibly good! My non-keto husband also loves. Will definitely make these again! Thx for this recipe!!
Glad you like them.
Okay, Steve, so I just made this recipe, and they are incredible. HOWEVER, I'm too lazy to go to all the extra trouble of melting chocolate in my double boiler, then dipping, and the drizzling, bla, bla, bla, bla... (no offense). So, after I thoroughly mixed the syrup mixture into the nut mixture, while it was still warm I dumped in the chocolate chips and mixed until the chocolate was completely melted and incorporated. I figured, hey, it all goes in the same hole in my face anyway, where it gets thoroughly mixed before I swallow it, and it's not like I have any friends, so I won't be serving these to guests, so who cares WHAT they look like. Actually, they look like little lumps of fudge now, and they taste almost exactly like Almond Joy, which WAS one of my favorite candy bars. I'd love for you to give this way a try, and let us know if they taste the same. I can't imagine they wouldn't.
Also, I didn't use cashews because A) I hate cashews, and B) I do believe cashews are one of the highest carb count nuts there is. I substituted with macadamia nuts, and also added a couple of tablespoons of hemp seeds for the added fat. Great recipe, Steve. Thanks a bunch!
I had forgotten about paraffin wax, I used it when I made chocolate covered PB balls for the family years ago.
I actually have BochaSweet in my “saved for later” on Amazon, I definitely want to try it.
I’m not particularly a chocolate lover, but on occasion want a “sweet treat” and this does sound like the perfect treat.
Learn how to temper chocolate and you won’t have to add paraffin wax to your chocolate to get it to set. There is NO paraffin in chocolate. None. So why use it?
My grandma used paraffin wax too! Totally forgot about that.
This recipe is the best. I made it last night and I love it. Thank you.
I’m so glad you like it. 🙂
I used the ChocZero Maple Pecan Syrup yesterday to make your Granola Bars recipe - SO GOOD!! Glad to see you using it here too. Thanks for being such an inspiration!!
Thank you!!! Got to make! I melt choc zero chips with some coconut oil and add chopped nuts and or coconut. Place in candy molds to harden. Sometimes I’ll add LorAnn orange or cherry oil to flavor chocolate. Really good! Hope you’re enjoying your family time!
Trying these for sure!
I'm thinking Hemp Hearts in place of coconut, for those who aren't into that flavor.
Let me know how that works, in case I get questions about what can be substituted for coconut in the future.
Oh. That sounds good! I love hemp hearts!
That's exactly what I will do. I do love hemp hearts. 💕
@@SeriousKeto I have Gulf Wax arriving Monday, then I'll give it a go.
Merry Christmas!🎄
I just made these and they are delicious. I used chopsticks and coated the entire piece in chocolate. The only thing I did wrong was I didn't cook the butter and sugar long enough and they were very sticky, but they made it into my mouth just fine. I used
Wonderful!
Portion control - I limit myself to only one baking sheet full at a time. :)
Hahaha!
I don't have that much will power. Might have to make double batch.😎
🤣
🤣
😀
I like just melting the chocolate and a little butter in a cup. Throw in the coconut flakes, nuts and sweetener to taste. Stir and stick back in the fridge to harden.
i was trying to stay on track and listen to Zen music for being at peace within and i abandoned that for this video ...chocolate nut addiction trumps inner peace
"What day is it?" you ask (your shirt) Well... maybe someone else has already mentioned, but It's the day Conner comes home for 2 weeks! YAY, for you and your family.. enjoy!
Thanks for this recipe! I tried this out with allulose. The first batch I tried your exact nut/seed combo. I was worried about over cooking the allulose and it ended up being a little softer than I'd like. But it's amazingly delicious so it didn't really matter. The second batch I went for an almond joy type. Got a little braver and cooked it longer. I lucked out and it's perfect! Thanks for everything and hope you have a very merry Christmas with all your family!
Just made these today and I am again impressed with another Steve recipe! These were so tasty and I'm trying to resist having multiple. Delicious!
I heat up coconut oil, add cocao powder, + peanut butter, vanilla just till it melts, add powdered keto sugar (orherwise its sugary gritty) mix in non sweet coconut & nuts of choice, its chocolate way cheaper then the expensive chocolate chips, gotta keep in them in the fridge
I have to say if you are making holiday treats that will be served to non sugar free people, use the Bocha sweet. I found they don't complain about the weird taste or being too sweet like when i use erythritol based sweeteners. No matter if I use Lakanto or Swerve or Pyure, they don't like it.
Be careful with that! Lots of comments on Amazon about this sweetener causing intestinal issues!!
@@jemsmom97 We've been using Bocha Sweet at our house for over a year with no stomach issues whatsoever. I did receive an email from them notifying me that there are some fictitious comments being posted on Amazon by competitors trying to sabotage the reputation of Bocha Sweet. It's really a shame because Bocha Sweet is really an excellent product. It's the only sugar substitute that my husband was willing to give up sugar for! Actually, Allulose is more likely to cause stomach issues!
I was going to try the recipe without the paraffin wax, but, I gave in and ordered it along with the salt! Why am I not surprised that the paraffin wax is sold out already and won’t be available again until Dec. 20th! I should have jumped on it when you first told us what ingredients we are going to need! But, that’s ok! It’ll be worth the wait!
You should be able to find it at your grocery store or Walmart near the canning supplies.
Serious Keto , sorry, I should have said that I did place my order already through your link! As always, I’m honored with your response!
I was in Winco and found it next to the paper products.
I LOOOOOVE your pralines, so there is perfect faith in this recipe. I'm salivating just thinking about it.....yummy, dessert tonight!!!!
I just gotta say, I absolutely love you and your channel! I always feel I can trust that you are being completely honest. It's like having a chat with a great friend! Thank you so much Steve for being, you 😊. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas ⛄
Thank you for the very kind words and merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
I hate to cook, but after an endorsement like that, I've got to make this. Amazon, here I come! Thanks Steve.
Love your channel, great recipes and content!!
Thank you.
I’m trying to make KIND clusters dipped in choc and I found your video, these look really close to that and the KIND brand is $23 at Walmart or anywhere else! So thank you for this and I can’t wait to try it!!
This is so cool, looks delish! I was thinking I can sub macadamia nuts for one of the others! Thanks! 🤶🏼 🎅🏼 ⛄ 🎄
Absolutely
Good grief Steve! You've done it again! This is really looks and sounds like a winner!
Thank you, Steve.
Don’t thank me until you try them.
Then thank me a bunch. 😉
@@SeriousKeto It's a deal. :)
These, a beautiful glass jar, with a pretty holiday ribbon, will make great Christmas gifts!🎄🤶Thank you Steve.😋
Oh yes, the wax! I guess I’m as old as your grandma cause I remember doing the wax thing and it works great!
Old school. 😄
❤ This. Steve, you never disappoint. Such an Educator. I always look forward to learning more from you. A lesson on cooking & baking (temperatures) with sweeteners would be great! Like when you mentioned that Lakanto crystallizes. PS Love the shirt. I feel like that sometimes too!🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much
Made these yesterday and they are awesome! Like something you'd find at an upscale specialty boutique. Very impressed!
Ya got me with the room temp stability..awesome
Paraffin. Yes. My sister always made Mounds bars at Christmas time. And I used it too, but it’s been so long, I can’t remember what I made back in the day.
Good heavens Steve!!!! I just made these.
I used Lakanto Monk Fruit for baking to sweeten. I also used the Choc Zero caramel syrup.
I did put a little butter in my chocolate because I didn't have any wax.
These are out.of.this.world!!! Unbelievably delicious!
Even with the baking Monk Fruit it still came out chewy.
However I will be ordering the bocha sweet and salt that you had. I do believe that salt will really take it to the next level as you said!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!! It is most definitely a keeper!! 👍😊
Glad you liked it.
They sound really good. I think I might toast the nuts and coconut first to bring out the flavor of the nuts.
I gotta stop watching your videos while i'm away at work as fasted. At least it gives me something to look forward to when i get home!
Can't wait to try these!!! Hope you all are enjoying your time with your son home. Happy Merry!!!
I may have said this before but I agree totally on the Bocha Sweet... A couple bucks more per pound to taste almost exactly like the real thing? Worth every penny. Maybe cool the chocolate some before application so more of it stays on top...
I can not wait to make these.. think ill take them to the christmas dinner..
Thanks you!!
I made them and they are SO good!
These look divine ❤️ Our Maple Pecan Syrup is a favorite one around here 😍
It's rather popular in this household as well. 😉
I just tried to make these, except I somehow missed your comments about erithritol not being able to make a suitable caramel. Since it's what I have on hand, it's what I used. The nuts obviously didn't hold together so I ended up making a batch of extra sweet candy bars instead. Used the chocolate to glue the nuts together instead of the caramel. They're ... adequate ... Lesson learned.
There is a method to my madness. 😉
Merry Christmas candy for me! Thanks for all your hard work! Special request for New year's, could you add a few "clean meals". Here's hoping for 100k!
I’ve made these around Christmas with Choczero chips and they were absolutely wonderful. But I made them today (it’s raining here) and used a different brand of dark chocolate chips made with Allulose and the chocolate wouldn’t combine with the paraffin wax. When it finally did, the chocolate is very waxy and not so much any chocolate flavor. Just a warning- Stick to Choczero for this recipe!
This is a fantastic recipe! I don't like chocolate (i know, I know), so I just made them as "nut clusters". Absolutely delish!! Bocha sweet is an absolute game changer and is worth every penny, in my opinion. If anyone is on the fence about these, you have to try them!! They are great! :-)
I cannot wait to make this!! And the paraffin is the secret to keeping it from melting.
Perfect Christmas gifts 🎁
Looks fantastic 👏 👌 so yummy
I love making candy for the holidays! This will go into my arsenal of recipes! But.... I will make it all year for the family! 🤣
These sound delish. Thanks for the recipe!
These are AMAZING! Thank you so much for this tasty treat. One is satisfying so I’m not tempted to over indulge.
Thank you Steve. Another great recipe. Looks so yummy! 🎄
Looks amazing, thank you Steve. Maybe I could also use more chocolate right in the bowl and make a fudge kind of treat, hmmm.
I'm seriously looking forward to making these!
Looks great. Really helpful at Christmas time. Thanks Steve Jennifer 🌲⛄
I’m not big on sweets but I love chocolate and nuts together. Ty
Thank you for mentioning allulose. I have a lot of liquid allulose on hand.
I’m making to share with family this Christmas!
You have spoiled my husband with these! He loves fat bombs but these are in a class of their own!
Thank you!
Oh MY. These sound AMAZING.
I can't wait to see the looks on my non-keto friends' faces when I tell them the net carb count on these beauties! Praying for 100K, seriousSteve!
Omgosh those look amazing! Got to get wax and BS, but these will be on my to do list. Thanks Steve😋😋😋
Ooh I think I'd do a brittle with a chocolate coating. Mmm.
OMG I know it's not Steve's intention but damn this man makes me laugh "crystally Blah" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Best review ever.
Glad I could give you a giggle. 😉
This sounds and looks awesome. I will be making these. Thank you Steve.....Merry Christmas !
Looking forward to making these. Got my Bocha sweet and wax ordered.
Ok, these look fabulous....ordering some bocha sweet now...
I made these larger than you did thinking it would be more like a candy bar and I’d be less likely to go back for seconds/thirds/fourths. I was correct however they were almost to filling. I ended up only using half the chocolate so that may have saved me a tiny bit carb wise. I used Lily’s milk chocolate and salted caramel and choc zero vanilla. All the nonKeto Peeps went Gaga for these things.
I did find them a wee bit waxy but that’s ok. Next will be dark chocolate and caramel. Oh and that salt was seriously to die for. 🤤👩🍳
I wanted to let you know my wife ( the chef ) tried the recipe. Though we ditched the wax idea. We just split one while still not totally cool from frig. But we just stuck them in the freeezer. I think they'll be awesome after that. I'd attach a picture but can't see how to do that. Maybe we can't. Anyway, they tasted great. Merry Christmas. While it's always a special time of year, your son is home....much happiness to you and your family
Wow! Made this yesterday and three words only for this....fab u lous!
YES! Fat bombs with texture. So sick of nothing but cream cheese and butter. These are the BOMB.
Have a wonderful visit with your son!
Bocha Sweet is DEFINITELY THE BEST!!
Agreed
Thank you, Steve!
The explanation for _why_ the Bocha-Sweet is better is what I needed!
I use alot of sweetener so, I'll prolly use the Swerve for stuff where the texture doesn't matter and buy the Bocha for stuff like this.
So excited!
Thank you so much! Perfect for Christmas!
Enlightening discussion about the different sugar replacements good to know, thanks and Happy Holidays for you and your family.
I am so glad I decided to get fhe BochaSweet, it tastes so good and is now my go to sweetener when appropriate for the recipe. Totally worth the extra cost.
The only reason I don't use it more in videos is the blowback I get from viewers about the cost. It's great stuff.
@@SeriousKeto yes, that's too bad, I don't spend money on alcohol since I ,like you, gave that up,and no money on junk or fast food ,so it equals out, for me.
And I Love that stuff!!!😅
I’m going to try combining nut mixture with the chocolate and spreading out on pan, once cooled, break into pieces....wish me luck!
You could probably do something similar in a baking pan to make bars...
Ooo, I haven’t made mine yet. I think I will do this then scoop into balls or into the bar molds. Hmmmm.
These are soooo good! We had a couple variations for our liking. Will definitely be making again!
Beeswax didn't kill me and clusters were delicious..Thank you for your creation!
With the beeswax, where they stable at room temp or did the chocolate melt?
@@SeriousKeto They are stable and wonderful..the little man said that it was an excellent recipe and I should make them again.. (when we get this batch eaten)...however, I do keep them in the ref...but take them with us daily in a lunch bag and they fair well.
Good info. I'll update the recipe on the website to indicate that beeswax can be used. Thank you!
Dang, I can't wait to make this one!!!!
I ran to purchase the Bocha sweet before everyone sees the video 😂 thru your link of course 👍🏾
I finished collecting ingredients yesterday so I can make these. I now have an extenuating circumstance to getting anything done for the next three or four months. My husband got me two Olde English Bulldogge puppies and they are sucking up my time like having twin newborns in the house. The last few days have been exhausting but we are starting to get into a routine. Maybe today I will get to make these and some granola bites.
Good luck.
@@SeriousKeto Thanks. I am starting to treat them like babies and put them in their crate for naps. It gives me a break and they are getting a clue about potty training.
