4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Keto Coconut Joys Directions

Sometimes your feel like a nut
Pinch off a small amount of coconut mixture and mold around one almond. Roll in your hands to completely cover and in a 3/4 inch ball shape. If not using almonds or nuts, just pinch off coconut mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining coconut mixture until you make 12 small balls. Place each ball on a parchment lined tray.
-
Cover with chocolate
Melt chocolate in the microwave in a small bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Drizzle each coconut ball with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store keto candy in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for 1 month.
These keto coconut joys are the perfect little dessert when you’re craving something sweet but staying on track. I loved how the coconut mixture stayed soft even after chilling and the slight saltiness of the butter gave them an amazing flavor twist. 5 stars
Really loved the balance of creamy chocolate and chewy coconut in these treats. Super easy to make and the almond center adds a great crunch. I especially liked how convenient it was to store them in the freezer for later snacking.
These were amazing! So good I had to restrain myself from eating the whole batch! My question is why are is the carb count 1.3 net carbs per piece. I used Swerve and it’s supposed to have no net carbs. Add the coconut 4 net carbs and butter 0 carbs that would be 4 for entire batch. Where am I going wrong?
