Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole almonds (roasted unsalted nuts)
- 2 - 8 oz keto dark chocolate baking bars
- 1 tsp powdered erythritol
- Sweetener (such as powdered erythritol) to sprinkle over the top
- Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Melt chocolate: Break the keto dark chocolate baking bars into large chunks and place them in a small glass mixing bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Mix almonds and sweetener: Add the roasted unsalted almonds and 1 teaspoon of powdered erythritol to the melted chocolate. Stir thoroughly until the almonds are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Form clusters: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the chocolate-covered almonds into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, you can lay individual chocolate-covered almonds one by one for single serving pieces.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to speed up the hardening process of the chocolate and ensure the clusters set properly.
- Store: Once set, the chocolate covered almonds can be stored at room temperature but are best kept in the fridge to prevent melting and to maintain their freshness.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered erythritol or choosing a different keto-friendly sweetener.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each cluster before chilling to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- If a smoother texture is desired, consider chopping the almonds into smaller pieces before mixing with chocolate.
- These treats can be enjoyed as a quick snack or dessert and are ideal for those following a keto or low-carb diet.
- Use high-quality keto-friendly dark chocolate to ensure the best flavor and texture.
