Keto Chocolate-Covered Almonds

Chocolate-covered almonds are a classic treat, but they're often made with unhealthy ingredients like sugar and vegetable oil. This recipe uses only three ingredients: almonds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and coconut oil. The result is a delicious and healthy snack that's perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy way to satisfy my chocolate craving. I had some almonds on hand, and I knew that cocoa powder was a good source of antioxidants. I also had some coconut oil, which I had been using in my cooking for a while. I decided to combine these three ingredients and see what would happen. The result was so delicious that I've been making these chocolate-covered almonds ever since.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 0 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup blanched almonds
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and coconut oil.
4. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, or until the coconut oil is melted.
5. Stir the mixture until it is smooth.
6. Pour the chocolate mixture over the almonds and stir to coat.
7. Spread the almonds out in an even layer.
8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Why It Works

• The unsweetened cocoa powder gives the almonds a rich chocolate flavor without adding any sugar.
• The coconut oil helps to bind the cocoa powder to the almonds and gives them a smooth, creamy texture.
• Refrigerating the almonds for at least 30 minutes helps the chocolate to set and gives the almonds a nice crunch.
