Hello,
What a great recipe to make your own chocolate. I am trying to gradually eliminate dairy from my diet. However I would prefer to use xylitol instead of stevia. Do you have any idea how I can convert the measurements?
Thanks!
Zach
Can I replace the coconut butter with, peanut butter, almond butter, or cacao butter?
Brenda
I've not tried it, my boys have nut allergies but it sounds like a great idea!
Heather
Hi. I just tried making these and the liquid stevia gave them an awful bitter/alcohol taste. I don't have much experience with the liquid stevia-second time I've used it with the same results both times. Am i using the wrong kind? I so wanted these to turn out!
Brenda
We brand did you use and was it vanilla flavored?
Jennifer Carter
Hello, I just made these and they had a very strong coconut taste and a burning taste. I used vanilla liquid stevia. Did I do something wrong? I so wanted these to turn out for my kids for Easter.
Brenda
It could have been the stevia you used, not all brands are created equal. If there's a burning or cooling sensation the brand you have may have erythritol in it perhaps? But yes they will have a coconut taste that's unavoidable, if they aren't into coconut why not try these instead, if you're child is allergic to nuts, sub the peanut butter with sunbutter:https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-chocolate-peanut-butter-easter-eggs-dairy-free/
Jennifer Carter
Thank you Brenda! I thought it was the Stevia. I did make the peanut butter ones with almond butter and they are good.
Brittany
Are there any substitutions for the coconut butter or coconut oil? Or, do they have a strong coconut flavor? I'm really not a fan of coconut, but would like to try making these.
Brenda
The chocolate masks the coconut flavor so I don't believe you will notice. You could try peanut butter for the coconut butter however I would keep the coconut oil because it is what makes the bunny solidify.
D
Could the coconut butter be replaced by peanut butter?
Brenda
No because coconut butter actually solidifies at room temperature but peanut butter does not.

I can't wait to make these! I have some coconut butter on hand, but haven't gotten into the habit of using it, so I have plenty. I'm thinking it's probably gonna go quickly once I try this tasty snack. So glad you shared!
Lisa
To the previous poster.....how do you MAKE coconut butter? I have coconut oil, but didn't know coconut butter existed. ?
Brenda
You can google making coconut butter, it's fairly simple but I've never tried it myself.
Sam
Do you think you could use regular powder stevia? or only liquid?
Brenda
You could use powdered, not sure how much, taste test. I like the liquid as it absorbs quickly and the flavor is fantastic!
Kailie
YUM! Thank you! I've been craving chocolate all the time but don't want to throw all of my hard work away and eat junk. Making these soon!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast
