LOW-CARB CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (XYLITOL)
After reading about the many benefits of xylitol, I went looking for a recipe that would tell me how to add it to unsweetened chocolate and make my own sugar-free chocolate. I couldn't find one quickly and was feeling impatient, so I made this up and it turned out quite well! Note: My sweetener of choice is Sugar Twin (sodium cyclamate) ordered from Canada, which I believe tastes best and is safest. Combining two sweeteners gives a better flavor. When I made this with xylitol only, it had a "too sweet" taste. Also, I used crunchy peanut butter (which is why you see bits of peanuts in the photo), but of course you could use smooth.

Steps:
- Melt the baking chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat.
- Add xylitol and half & half, and stir to blend well.
- Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until dissolved, smooth, and very hot (no need to boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
- Press mixture into a flat container that gives the desired height for your fudge. I use a fairly small container so that when I slice the fudge, pieces will be square.
- Chill until firm, then cut into 16 pieces. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:
- Melt cream cheese and peanut butter in microwave for approx 2 minutes, stopping and stirring at 1 minute intervals.
- Melt chocolate in separate bowl until creamy.
- Combine chocolate with cream cheese mixture and whisk in Splenda and cream.
- Pour into buttered glass pan and chill at least 4 hours.
- Cut into 16 squares and enjoy.
- Note that this recipe yields a more "gooey" fudge than traditional fudge, but if you want more uniform squares, place pan in freezer for 30 minutes before cutting.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of the fudge.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth. If it's chunky, it will make the fudge grainy.
- Don't overcook the fudge. Otherwise, it will be hard and brittle.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve the fudge at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
Conclusion:
These low-carb chocolate peanut butter fudge recipes are a delicious and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard on sugar. They're perfect for a snack, dessert, or party. So go ahead and indulge! You can also experiment with different flavors of chocolate and peanut butter to create your own unique fudge recipes.
