Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Popped cheese crisps
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Swerve powdered sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by spreading the cheese crisps evenly on a large baking tray to make sure they are well separated and ready for coating.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened almond butter, sugar-free syrup, and butter. Stir continually until the mixture begins to boil gently.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, Swerve powdered sweetener, and salt, mixing until completely combined and smooth.
Carefully pour the hot mixture over the cheese crisps on the baking tray, using a spatula to gently mix and coat every piece evenly.
Allow the coated crisps to cool slightly for about 2 minutes, until they are warm to the touch but not hot.
With clean hands lightly coated with oil or butter to prevent sticking, scoop a portion of the mixture and form it into a ball by pressing together firmly. Each ball should be about the size of a standard baseball or as desired.
Place each shaped ball on parchment paper to cool completely and set for about 10 minutes.
Enjoy your keto-friendly popcorn balls immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
