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.
Pecan Toasting Tips
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.
HOW TO STORE THIS KETO ALMOND BARK RECIPE
I would suggest storing them in the fridge for up to 5 days to keep them from becoming soft.

Great keto treat!
I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
I make this often and you can change it up so much. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Sharon! I’m glad you enjoy this recipe.
Made Choco Almond Bark couple wks ago. Added pumpkin seeds, whole almonds, diced strawberries & sprinkle some sugar free coconut, twas tres nums 😋. Next time try roasting the seeds & almonds together n the oven.
How much is one serving?
The number of servings is listed near the top left of the recipe card. I just divide my dish evenly by the number of servings.
Thank you:)
Can I use unsweetened chocolate bars and add sweetener? If so, how much sweetener do you think I would need to add? Thanks in advance!
Hi Patricia! I’ve only prepared the recipe as is, so I am not sure the outcome with unsweetened chocolate bars or the sweetener measurement. If you decided to give it a try, I’d just taste taste and add more sweetener as needed.
Making this recipe for the second time…it’s awesome! Thanks for sharing it 🙏🏻
You’re welcome! I’m really glad you like it.
Excellent and very easy. The key is to get the sugar-free stevia sweetened chocolate bits. I didn’t use any peanut butter and bought already roasted almonds. This is going to be a regular treat from now on.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.
Made this tonight… with a twist (hope you don’t mind 😉 Buffalo sauce and grilled chicken for a more hearty Buffalo Chicken Mac’n Cheese. Great recipe!
That sounds delish! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Kasey I was just wondering what your thoughts are on sugar free Hershey’s choc. chips? I’m not a fan of Libbys choc chips (I’m a bit picky) ant thoughts are appreciated thank you!
Where is the recipe???????
If you scroll to the bottom of the post you’ll find the recipe in the recipe card. There is also a “jump to” recipe button at the top of every post.
Hi Kasey,
What is the weight of the Choco chips 9oz?
It just says ‘bag’
Thanks for sharing , looking forward to making the recipe.
🙂
Lily’s chips only come in one size. I think it is 9oz.
This has become a family favorite!!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the recipe as is so much, I improvised next time, I used the Lily’s white chocolate chips, skipped the peanut butter, added macadamia nuts and low sugar craisins, yummmmmmm.
Sounds delish!!
What can I add to keep the chocolate from melting in my hand as I eat it?
Nothing. Your hands are warm so it will begin to melt the alond bark. Perhaps try just picking up a small amount at a time.
I just made this for my husband for a Christmas present, I normally do cocoa dusted almonds so thought this would make a good alternative. I’m gutted as it hasn’t set properly, if I take it out of the fridge it goes soft again. It does, however, taste delicious so I’m going to wrap it in the Tupperware and keep it in the fridge instead of the tin I’d bought. Such a shame it didn’t quite work out but could have been worse.
In the post, I included the following info in regards how to store the almond bark.

I have made this quite often and we really love it. I just wanted to come back and share that I made it today with Lily’s Pumpkin Spice chips and what a great treat! Everything else is the same just subbed the pumpkin spice chips for the chocolate. I only used pecans as well. I wish I could share a pic with you.
