What you need
Whole roasted almonds, dark chocolate, low-carb sweetener, and sea salt are just what you need to create these amazing no-bake sugar-free chocolate covered almonds.
- whole almonds - roasted unsalted nuts. You can also use whole almonds that haven't been roasted, but you'll need to bake them briefly before continuing with the recipe
- sugar-free dark chocolate baking bar - we recommend Lily's brand or your favorite brand will work well here
- powdered erythritol- powdered monk fruit works great too
- sweetener to sprinkle over the top
- sea salt
Step by Step Instructions
Prep: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
Step 1: Break the dark chocolate baking bars into large chunks and add them to a small glass mixing bowl.
Step 2: Microwave the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring the chocolate after each time. Keep doing this until the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 3: Add the almonds and the sweetener to the melted chocolate and stir until it's completely combined.
Step 4: With a small cookie scoop or spoon, group the chocolate covered almonds into small mounds and place them on the baking sheet.
To speed up hardening the chocolate, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for an hour. They're ready to eat! Store them in the fridge to keep them from melting.
Variation idea
Instead of making chocolate clusters, you can also make individual chocolate covered almonds by laying them one almond at a time on the baking sheet.
Recipe tips
- Break up your chocolate bars to help them melt faster and more evenly.
- Speaking of melting chocolate, be sure to use small time allotments and stir to combine every time.
- Microwave your chocolate only as long as necessary and watch it closely to avoid burning it.
- We recommend using roasted almonds because they are ready to eat. However, if you opt for raw almonds you can easily toast them by placing them in a 300F oven for 10-12 minutes.
- You can also make chocolate dipped strawberries or raspberries in place of nuts.
FAQ's
Absolutely! Any nut you love covered in chocolate and sea salt will work, just watch the carb content of some nuts if you are following keto as some nuts are high in carbohydrates.
No, chocolate covered almonds can be left out at room temperature. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Stored in an airtight container, your chocolate covered almonds will be good for up to 3 weeks.

Sugar Free Chocolate Covered Almonds (Keto)
Easy keto friendly and sugar-free chocolate covered almonds sprinkled with sea salt that are a healthy way to enjoy a sweet treat or snack. Make them in clusters or as individual keto chocolate almonds, either way they'll become a favorite!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole almonds, roasted unsalted nuts
- 2- 8 oz keto dark chocolate baking bar
- 1 teaspoon powdered erythritol
- sweetener to sprinkle over the top
- sea salt
Instructions
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Break the 2 keto friendly dark chocolate baking bars into large chunks. Add the pieces to a small glass mixing bowl.
Microwave the chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring the chocolate after each time. Keep doing this until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add the almonds and the sweetener to the melted chocolate and stir until completely combined.
With a small cookie scoop or spoon, group the sugar free chocolate covered almonds into small mounds and place them on the baking sheet. Instead of making keto chocolate clusters, you can also make individual chocolate covered almonds by laying them one almond at a time on the baking sheet.
To speed up hardening the chocolate, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for an hour.
The healthy chocolate covered almonds do not require refrigeration, but the fridge is still the best place to store the candy so it doesn't melt.
Notes
Use toasted unsalted almonds to make the recipe go even quicker, if you only have raw almonds you'll want to toast them in the oven before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread almonds out in a single layer and toast for 10-12 minutes, stirring once during that time. Set aside.
We used Lily's dark chocolate baking bars in our recipe, sugar-free chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate will also work.
The recipe as written uses just a teaspoon of sweetener, after you combine the chocolate and nuts together, taste one and add more sweetener to taste.
For a really decadent treat, use the Lily's flavored chocolate bars like the caramel chocolate. These are presweetened so no additional sweetener is necessary in the recipe. You'd just need to melt the flavored bars and nuts, combine together and chill.
To make individual keto chocolate covered almonds, lay the almonds one by one on a baking tray and chill them without grouping them into clumps.
