When you don’t feel like pulling out a bunch of measuring cups and spoons or ingredients to make cookies, just use a boxed cake mix! Fortunately many companies are making low carb cake mixes so you have plenty to choose from.

Keto magic shell

Magic shell is a liquid chocolate topping that instantly hardens when it is poured on cold ice cream. It’s easy to make your own sugar-free magic shell by combining melted chocolate with coconut oil. To give this magic sauce some extra flavor, I like to add a 1/2 scoop of Cacao Bliss by Earth Echo my partner for this recipe. Cacao Bliss is a raw cacao powder blend with superfoods. Each superfood not only provides flavor but also helpful properties when consumed like,
  • Cinnamon (to help regulate sugars and for gut support)
  • Turmeric (for inflammation)
  • Black pepper (to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric)
  • Himalayan salt (for balancing pH levels)
  • Lucuma (to help with the body’s repair mechanisms)
  • Coconut nectar (a prebiotic for gut health)
If you want to try Cacao Bliss, use my code KETOFOCUS to save 15% off your order.

Storage information

Store leftover low-carb cookie bars in an air tight container for up to 3-4 days. These bars are best served warm so they can be reheated in the oven, air fryer or microwave. Magic shell chocolate sauce should be prepared fresh each time.
