This almond and sea salt Keto chocolate bar offers a delightful combination of crunch, smokiness, and sweetness, perfectly balanced with a pinch of sea salt. Ideal for various dietary preferences, it's sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Quick and easy to make in under 15 minutes with just a few ingredients, this low-carb chocolate recipe yields a 70-gram bar. Feel free to scale up the recipe for larger batches or for use in multiple Keto chocolate creations. While almonds pair wonderfully, consider experimenting with other nuts like pecans, hazelnuts, or pistachios for diverse flavor profiles. For those sensitive to salt, reducing the amount is preferable to omitting it entirely, as it enhances the chocolate's flavor. However, if preferred, it can be left out. A combination of powdered (erythritol or allulose) and liquid (stevia or monk fruit) sweeteners is recommended for optimal results, though either type can be used alone. Avoid granulated sweeteners due to their tendency to dissolve poorly, leave a gritty texture, or crystallize upon cooling. Once set, wrap the bar in foil and store it in an airtight container in a cool, low-humidity environment for up to a month.
