Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Chips in Chunks

Stevia and Erythritol Sweetened Chocolate Chip Chunks

With the discontinuation of ChocoPerfection brand Low Carb chocolate chips, I was forced to come up with a way to make my own sugar free chocolate chips. It sounded like a lot of work, especially since I have always found melting chocolate at the right temperature to be somewhat difficult. So, I decided to buy a chocolate melter which is much simpler than using a double boiler or a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. I bought the melter at my local Walmart, but it’s also available here at Amazon.

Using the Wilton Chocolate Melter

One of the requirements I had for making my own chocolate chips was that they had to be suitable for storing at room temperature. A lot of the recipes I’ve seen online require that the homemade chocolate chunks be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. I’ve never stored my baking chocolate in the fridge and that seemed odd to me.

I’m surprised with how easy it was to make these. The chocolate melter really made a big difference. Be sure to use food grade cocoa butter. I’ve been using Eastbluff Trading Co. cocoa butter which I really like because it comes in broken chunks. The cocoa butter that is sold in jars is difficult to get out because it needs to be broken up in the jar first.

This recipe can be doubled if needed. I only made a small amount because I was testing out the recipe. The melting pot would have easily fit a double batch. I also used a food scale to weigh out the cocoa butter because it is difficult to measure. Weighing out the amount needed is much easier.
