Great Keto snack to hit your sweet tooth. Also, I factored in the carbs and calories in splenda, so don't worry about adding those in yourself (24 calories and ~6g carbs in a 1/4 cup of Splenda).

**Gary1911A1** · 05-26-2009, 12:59 PM

Made some last night. I'm not a good cook, but they came out great. Hopefully this won't be another new food addiction.

**NicholeTiffany** · 07-18-2009, 06:35 PM

Just whipped these up and popped them into the freezer; excited to try!

**NicholeTiffany** · 07-20-2009, 04:39 PM

Wondering if anyone has tried these with a scoop of protein powder?? I'm not sure if it wouldn't mix, or wouldn't freeze, or....

Unaware!

**DriftMonster** · 07-21-2009, 09:52 AM

I'm about to try with some chocolate protein powder. I was thinking of splitting the protein with the cocoa. The way I look at it, as long as you're using butter and peanut butter, you should be fine

.

**DriftMonster** · 07-22-2009, 08:45 AM

Not so hot with the protein powder. It taste basically like "sludge", which makes sense because it's almost all the same ingredients. Little on the chalky side, but definitely good enough for help with the sweet tooth.

**TieDyeSmiley** · 08-09-2009, 09:38 AM

well i just finally made these they are in the freezer now i think they will b3e another option for preworkout. i usually just like a lil fat before usually some nutz or something so this be nice lil alternative.

they def smell good hope they freeze fast lol

**TieDyeSmiley** · 08-10-2009, 11:46 AM

well i tried this yet it wasnt very sweet. maybe next time ill add more splenda? it tasted aight tho just not sweet enough.

ill tweak it again after i eat these lol. my prew/o meal fat fat fat lol

**tuffnut** · 08-17-2009, 10:51 PM

to the OP, these are too good, i had to throw them out so i wouldn't eat the lot!! i can't believe i can eat this stuff on a diet!!

**adamrox** · 03-21-2010, 06:31 PM

Anyone have any ideas?

**Jerbz** · 03-21-2010, 07:18 PM

liquid splenda would be the best i think.

stevia is the best, I try to use stevia or xylitol as they're more "natural". Stevia is an herb and has no calories or carbs period, while anything else is basically up to "interpretation". Some people just don't like the acquired taste for Stevia though so to each their own. Xylitol, sorbitol and basically anything with "Tol" at the end is a sugar alcohol and some versions don't sit well with people. Maltitol makes an unpleasant day for me, while Xylitol is great. You can always mix stevia and xylitol too, since xylitol tastes more like sugar than anything I've tried. Anyways that's enough about sweetners.

As far as making them bigger? Well you could add nuts I suppose but these things are going to be dense and there's nothing really you can add to them to make them bigger without upping the calories/macros in some way. I've never tried it with protein powder either, but hey let us know how it goes. I don't particularly like cooking with protein powder since I heard it doesn't do well under heat.

a) i wouldn't use protein powder, it bakes horribly. some do ok in pancakes and ive zapped some things in the microwave a few times, but when i tried to make the same recipe in the oven its horrible.
b) that is a sh*t ton of butter. I dono what kind of keto you guys are doing but that is whack for anything conjured up. lol!

from the man himself: high protein, moderate fat, low carb. i guess if you're not competing you guys can go eating sticks of butter...but I just don't see how that can be gotten away with-maybe i just dont want to chance it? to each his own.

The thread won't show up for me, it just goes straight to the main page. None the less the ratios are 60/30/10 for most of us here. There are different ways to eat "low carb" and still achieve results. Don't like the recipes here then don't make it.

**LiveFromNY** · 04-10-2010, 06:42 AM

excellent find OP!
i pretty much made the 'sludge'
-2 scoops ON double chocolate whey
- a cap full or so of vanilla extract
- 3 packets of splenda
- tsp or two of hersheys cocoa powder
then dripped in water till cake like batter

put a tbs or two in wax baking cups (i tried regular paper baking cups and that was nooooot fun!! the paper stuck sooo bad

) then spread it around so it coated the sides a little, dropped a half tbs of natty pb in the middle then covered the tops with the rest of the whey mix.
popped it in the freezer for 30 min and there you go! the perfect Reeses fake out haha

**deadfingers** · 04-10-2010, 10:50 AM

I found this through the forum, bookmarked it for later experimentation. I'm sure it can easily be made keto with some substitutions.

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/project...nut_butter_cup

My thoughts to sub would be the graham cracker crumbs with ground almond meal with cinnamon and some sweetener. To give it the same consistency at least. Confectioners sugar with stevia (or something similar). The shortening, I don't know maybe more butter? I've never used shortening so I don't know what would be best. Maybe some sort of animal fat? The chocolate chips, with some sugar free ones, or if you're really picky. Melt some 100% chocolate bars with your sweetener of choice, it's all going to be melted together anyways. Anyways I plan on making that and trying it out, but I don't have a kitchen for a while so.

Can't wait to try it. I hope they are as good as advertised!
