Ingredients:

• Lily's Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips – The best low carb chocolate ever. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate. Lily's has really raised the bar with their ingredients to make a wide variety of low carb candy.
• Natural peanut butter – Check for added sugar and make certain it's NOT listed on the ingredients.
• Coconut oil  – Love using this healthy fat.
• Almonds – I like using slivered almonds as they're easier to chew.
• Pecans – Toast them slightly for a better flavor.
• Unsweetened coconut – Optional and totally up to you to add or not.

Steps:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. then spread out the pecans and almonds. (If almonds are already roasted, there is no need to roast again.) Drizzle melted butter and salt on top of the nuts and toss to coat evenly.

Bake for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 2:  Grease a glass bowl and add Lily's chips  and coconut oil. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between until Lily's chocolate chips  are completely melted. Be careful not to cook too long, or the chocolate will scorch.

Step 3:  Add natural peanut butter and stir until it melts.

Step 4 : Pour melted chocolate mixture into an 11 X 7 baking pan  covered with parchment paper.

Step 5:  Sprinkle pecans, almonds, and on top. (Feel free to customize toppings to your liking. Hazelnuts make a great low carb addition to this keto-friendly candy too.

Step 6:  Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and allow it to set. Remove from refrigerator and break the delicious low carb candy bar into bites.

These chocolate keto-friendly candies make incredibly delicious sweet treats to curb all your cravings for sweets. This low carb candy is not dairy-free due to the semi-sweet chocolate chips. It should be gluten-free, but I always suggest checking every products ingredients you use in your kitchen because added gluten can vary from brand to brand, or there may be cross-contamination.
