1 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup sugar-free chocolate pudding mix (optional, but improves texture)<\/li>\n<li>1\u20132 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>2\u20133 tablespoons water (for syrup)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0For the Chocolate Coating<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (85\u2013100% cocoa or keto chocolate)<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smooth melting)<\/li>\n<li>Optional: a little sweetener if your chocolate is very

tartar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on high speed until <strong>stiff peaks form<\/strong>.\n<ul>\n<li>This means when you lift the whisk, the peaks stand straight without collapsing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This step is crucial because it creates the fluffy, airy texture that mimics the original candy.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Step 2: Prepare the Sugar-Free Syrup<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a small saucepan, combine:\n<ul>\n<li>Sweetener<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Heat over medium heat until fully dissolved and slightly

egg whites on medium speed:\n<ul>\n<li>Slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the bowl.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Important:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pour very slowly to avoid scrambling the

(or silicone mold) with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the nougat mixture evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Smooth the top using a spatula (lightly greased to prevent sticking).<\/li>\n<li>Refrigerate for:\n<ul>\n<li>At least 4\u20136 hours<\/li>\n<li>Preferably overnight for best texture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a0Step 6: Cut into Bars<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Once firm, remove from the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Cut into rectangular bars using a sharp knife.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Tip: Lightly oil the knife to make cutting easier.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Step 7: Coat with Chocolate<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Melt

Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to <strong>1 week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>For best texture, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before
