Happy Valentine’s Day horror lovers…or should I say, Valloween? Today I’m going to share with you my special recipe for how to make super easy keto chocolates that you will love so much, you might just devour all of them in one go. Here, I’ve made mine shaped as hearts, skulls and gravestones to match my collection of ghost stories for Valentine’s Day, Love you to Death, but you can use whatever shape of silicon moulds that your sweet, spooky wee heart desires. Ready to get chocolatey? Here goes:

Ingredients – you’ll need:

Cacao buttons

100% cocoa powder

Honey

Peanut butter

Silicon moulds

Leilanie’s spookily slimline chocolate recipe:

  1. Melt 20 cacao buttons in a milk pan (takes about 30 seconds on high heat).
  2. Turn off the heat and add half a teaspoon of cocoa powder. You can add more if you prefer your chocolates very bitter.
  3. Add half a teaspoon of honey (or a full teaspoon of you want your chocolates to be very sweet).
  4. Mix in a heaped teaspoon of peanut butter for taste and texture (optional, but I like it).
  5. Put the mixture in your silicon moulds and leave to set for 15 mins at room temp or 5-10 mins in the fridge, if you can’t wait to devour your treats.
  6. Easy peasy! Enjoy your low carb Valentine’s Day chocolate treats minus the guilty conscience!
