Low Carb Chocolate Truffles

About 1 NET CARB Per truffle!

The holidays are fast approaching and if you are like me, you may be nervous about being around all that food! Last year during the holidays I was freaking out. Worried that I was going to be overwhelmed and too tempted to say no to all those yummy treats hanging around. I set out (like I always do) to create low carb versions that I could enjoy. I also wanted to simplify my own cooking so as to not make two different versions of each recipe I started creating ones that the whole family would love.  I totally have my husband fooled on these low carb chocolate truffles. He has no idea that they are sugar free.

Let’s talk chocolate

When eating low carb you don’t have to give up chocolate. It just becomes a matter of what kind can I have? When choosing chocolate opt for a high percent cacao. The higher the percentage, the less processing and added sugar. Another option is to choose a sugar free, naturally sweetened chocolate like Lily’s brand. That is our number one go to. Lily’s is sweetened with Stevia and has (in my opinion) no bitter aftertaste or funky burning sensation. You can find Lily’s online easily at shops like Netrition or even Amazon.
