Recipe by Chef #603588

I found this recipe while looking for something special to make my diabetic uncle for thanksgiving. A word on the sweetener. I have tried different combinations of sweeteners, including Splenda packets, Sweetzfree liquid Splenda, and powdered erythritol. I had the best results using the powdered erythritol and Sweetzfree, which is a very concentrated liquid. I have found that with chocolate, using artificial sweeteners with no sugar alcohols produces only an "OK" result. Adding a low glycemic sugar alcohol (not maltitol) improves the flavor and texture when working with unsweetened chocolate.

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

8

ounces unsweetened chocolate squares (see update note)
1

cup smooth peanut butter (no sugar added)
³⁄₄ - 1

cup erythritol
1

cup worth other sugar substitute (or to taste)
¹⁄₂

teaspoon vanilla
1

pinch salt

DIRECTIONS

Melt the chocolate. I like to pour boiling water over it, let it sit for 5 to 6 minutes, and then pour the water off. That way I know I won't burn the chocolate.
Mix in the rest of the ingredients, adjusting sweetener to taste.
Pack or spread into a loaf pan. Cool to room temperature, or you can put it in the refrigerator. Cut into 18 pieces and serve.
