Chocolate covered coconut candy is one of my all time favorites. In a past life I used to buy ten to twelve Chocolate Coconut Mounds at a time. When I converted to sugar free, the mounds had to go, until I discovered this recipe.
This is PERFECT for anyone on a Keto diet, coming in at 1 gram NET carb. Yes you saw that right … ONE net gram Carb count.
The sweetened coconut filling is covered with dark chocolate, creating a “to die for” taste combination. I’m going to confess to double dipping the mounds to get an extra thick layer of chocolate. If you decide to do this, be aware that it will add an extra carb.
I also double up on the size of the mounds … dividing my filling into 10 portions. For some reason, having ONE big coconut mound seems more satisfying than having two smaller ones. Yes, I know I can get weird at times!
