• Combine the chocolate and butter until smooth.

LOW CARB CHOCOLATE GANACHE (FOR TRUFFLES OR SAUCE)

Steps:

• Heat the cream, vanilla, sweetener and salt until bubbles form.
• Remove from heat.
• Add chocolate pieces and let melt, stirring occasionally.
• Add erythritol.
• At this point, you can let it cool to room temperature at which point it can be rolled into balls as the base of truffles (which you can then roll in nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder), or you can use it as the base for a sauce by adding cream until it is the consistency you want.
