Step By Step Instructions
Step 1
I used especially Brazil butter and Macadamia for this recipe. You can also go for pecan butter, coconut oil, nut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter as an alternative to ghee.
Step 2
In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and cocoa butter in a pan and bowl on top of the small container filled with water to make it entirely hot. Turn off the heat once it is completely melted.

Add powdered Erthritol, vanilla powder, and macadamia butter and mix well for a smooth combination. Add butter and mix Kito again for good results.
Pour 2 tablespoons of chocolate mixture into the mini tray with partitions or an ice tray to make cubes.
Step 4
Place the chocolate tray in the fridge overnight or for 2 to 3 hours and let it solidify.
You can refrigerate it for up to 3 to 4 months or one week in a deep freezer.
