Yes! But you do have to do some research and be open to change. Most milk chocolate that we all love has tons of sugar and is high in carbs. For chocolate on a keto diet, look for unsweetened chocolate, cocoa nibs, and dark chocolate. Do not buy Chocolate Chips with sweeteners with maltitol like Hershey's chips since it raises blood sugar. Dark chocolate should contain 70% of cocoa solids. One ounce of unsweetened chocolate is the lowest carb content of your chocolate options.

Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate, (about half a package)

Powdered Swerve

What Is Swerve? Can you use Swerve on a keto diet? I love substituting Swerve for sugar in my keto recipes. Swerve is a low-carb sugar substitute that has about 5 carbs per serving. You can swap it out in place of sugar cup for cup in recipes. And, it has no aftertaste so it truly does not affect the taste of your favorite recipes. Here is a great article from My Keto Kitchen talking about sweetener options for a low carb lifestyle

How To Make Sugar Free Chocolate Chips

1. Rough chop the chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe container.

2. Add the powdered swerve in with the chocolate and shake it around a bit to make sure that it is evenly distributed. 3. Place the container into the microwave for one minute to a minute and a half. 4. In the meantime, grab a silicon mat or chocolate chips mold and a spoon spatula. 5. Take the container out of the microwave and mix the ingredients together. If the chocolate is still too solid, simply microwave it for another 30 seconds and mix again. Repeat until you have a smooth mixture, making sure not to over microwave it and burn the chocolate. 6. Take a spoon or spatula and spread the mixture evenly across the silicon mat or chocolate chips mold. 7. Place the mold into the fridge and allow the chips to cool for a while. 8. Once the chocolate chips have cooled enough to solidify, simply flip the silicone mold over onto a piece of parchment paper and pop the chocolate chips out. 9. Let the chips sit out for a little bit to allow them to harden.

Tips And Tricks For Making Sugar Free Chocolate Chips

Only microwave the ingredients for 1 minute to start and in 30 second increments after that. It's super important that you don't burn the chocolate as that will ruin the taste and consistency of the chips. If you don't have a honeycomb silicone pot holder as I have, you can purchase one HERE. If you prefer to use a chocolate chip mold, you can use these silicon molds. Make sure to taste the mixture before placing it into the mold. Feel free to add an additional teaspoon of powdered Swerve if the sweetness is not to your liking. Make sure you really smash the mixture down into the molds. That way you don't have any weird air pockets or missing sections in your chocolate chips. Make sure to place down some wax paper before you pop the chips out of the mold. This will save you the trouble of having the clean your countertops afterward. If you're having trouble getting the chips out of the molds, place the mold back into the fridge and allow it to cool for a bit longer.

How Long Do They Last?

When stored properly, these chocolate chips can last up to a year. The likelihood of them lasting longer than that is high, but a year is a rough estimate. Basically, the expiration date on the low carb chocolate you use in this recipe will be the expiration date for your chocolate chips. For the best storage, keep the sugar free chocolate chips in an air tight container in a cool place out of sunlight. They are small and will melt together to form a large chocolate blob if stored improperly.
