Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 6 TBS organic butter
  • 1/2 cup organic heavy whipping cream
  • WHITE CHOCOLATE BAR:
  • 2 oz cocoa butter
  • 1/3 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla OR <g class="gr_ gr_178 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="178" data-gr-id="178">other extract</g> like MINT
  • 1/8 tsp Redmond Real salt
  • MILK CHOCOLATE BAR:
  • Add 1/4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
  • DARK CHOCOLATE BAR:
  • Add 1/2 to 1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate depending on how dark you like it

Instructions
 

  • Before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the cream and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in. If you don't work fast, the sweetener will burn. Heat butter on high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan. As soon as it comes to a boil, watch for specks of brown (this is brown butter....SO GOOD on veggies!). Immediately add the Swerve and the cream to the pan. Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Place cocoa butter in a double boiler and heat on medium high until fully melted (or <g class="gr_ gr_137 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="137" data-gr-id="137">microwave safe</g> bowl and heat on high for one minute, check and heat for 30 seconds until melted). Melting cocoa butter takes longer than traditional fats.
  • Stir in natural sweetener.
  • Stir in extracts and salt.
  • Place melted chocolate into candy bar mold, enough <g class="gr_ gr_151 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling only-del replaceWithoutSep" id="151" data-gr-id="151">to to</g> cover the bottom and sides, and cool in <g class="gr_ gr_149 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="149" data-gr-id="149">refrigerator</g> until white chocolate is solid, about an hour. Or the speedy method; you can place the molds in a freezer <g class="gr_ gr_150 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="150" data-gr-id="150">till</g> they are set up, which will only take a couple of minutes versus <g class="gr_ gr_138 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" id="138" data-gr-id="138">and</g> hour.
  • Once cool, fill the divots with caramel and set in freezer to set.
  • Once the caramel is set, remove from freezer and cover with additional melted chocolate.
