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.

Toasting the pecans brings out a fantastic flavor and crunch, making this Keto Easy Almond Bark recipe even tastier. If you don’t like pecans feel free to leave them out. This is one of those recipes that can be altered easily without compromising taste.

What makes this sweet? Do you use swerve or anything?
The Lily’s Chocolate Chips are sweetened with stevia already.
Did you have to order them online?
Will it work without peanut butter? And I don’t want to use almond butter
I would think so, but I’ve only made it as is.
I have bakers chocolate squares and sweetner, how much would I need instead of the ready made chips?
I’m not sure, I’ve only tested the recipe as is.
I don’t have any Lilly’s chocolate chips, can I make this with unsweetened baking chocolate? What is the best way to sweeten it?
I’ve only tried as is so not sure if unsweetened baking chocolate would work.
How do I store it
I use a zippered storage bag.
What is considered a serving size ( how large of a piece)?
That will depend on how you divide yours.
How much is one serving?
That is up to you and how many pieces you make.
when making these recipes, can you just use cocoa and more coconut oil instead of the chips?
I’ve only made this recipe as is, but feel free to test different methods.
Trying this weekend looks delicious
I hope you enjoy it!
This looks delicious and sounds super easy. Will this work with Almond Butter instead of peanut butter? Peanut anything causes inflammation for me, so I try to stay away from it.
I’ve only made it as is but it’s worth a try.
Your recipes look so good ! I would love for you to send me some of your recipes. Please

Oh my goodness, this was super easy to make and super delicious!!! My only problem with this dessert is that I want more than 1 serving or 2 or 3, lol!!!
Glad you enjoyed!! LOL!!
Looking forward to making this! I’ve been making my own peanut butter using PB2 and coconut oil (one part coconut oil to 2-3 part PB2). So, do you think I could just add PB2 or mix it with the coconut oil that’s already part of the recipe, or will it take away from the consistency? I wouldn’t want to add too much coconut oil with what’s required and what’s needed to make my own peanut butter. I’m not a baker, so I’d appreciate some thoughts before I make it. Thanks for your expertise!
I’m not sure. I’ve never used PB2 so I can’t say from personal experience. I would think it would change the consistency of the recipe.
I hate to be that one ? but, I’ve just recently started to eat healthy. Does this chocolate have that infamous aftertaste that usually comes from sugar-free? If so, is there another kind you would recommend?
It doesn’t to me but everyone’s tastebuds are different.
