Trevor’s birthday was this past week, so I had to make him one of his favorites. He think he enjoys this most because he can sneak a few bites here and there throughout the day instead of sitting down to one large dessert.
This is a take on the traditional Muddy Buddy make with rice or corn cereal. We replace the cereal with chopped nuts and coconut, as well as making it sugar free with a sugar substitute. This recipe does still contain peanut butter for a more authentic flavor. You could substitute another nut or sunflower seed butter if needed.

Ingredients:
- 4 oz Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
- 1 tbs Coconut Oil
- 1/3 cup All Natural Peanut Butter (without added sugar)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 1/3 cup Swerve Powdered Sweetener
- 2 cups Mixed Nuts, chopped by hand or in food processor
- 2 cups Coconut Flakes
- Extra 1/2 cup Swerve Powdered Sweetener for topping
Instructions:
- Combine chocolate, coconut oil, and peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and melt, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Once melted, stir in sweetener and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine Nuts and coconut flakes in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Pour melted chocolate mixture over the nuts and toss together until fully coated.
- Spread out on a sheet pan, sprinkle with extra powdered sweetener and allow to cool.
- Can be kept on the counter for a few days but will last a week or more in the fridge (if it lasts that long – I usually have to make a double batch)
