Notes

Because this is low-carb chocolate, it does not harden like regular chocolate. They are still great once fully cooled, but to get them hard and not chocolatey fingers, put them in the fridge or freezer. I like to cut wax paper around chocolate candies in about 4- 6, then place them in a container. I can then layer the candies with the wax paper separating.
