FAQ
Can I use regular sweetener instead of monkfruit?
Yes, but it won't be keto-friendly. Use powdered erythritol or stevia for low-carb options, starting with small amounts and adjusting to taste.
How long do these keep in the freezer?
They keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container. In the refrigerator, they'll last about 1 week but will be softer.
Can I make these without sweetener?
Absolutely! The sweetener is optional. The natural flavors of coconut butter, almond butter, and cacao provide plenty of richness and mild sweetness on their own.
