Are you the one who steals all the nut clusters from that box of chocolates?
Do you think milk chocolate is too sweet and mild?
Do you want low carb but homemade?
Well, saddle up my friends and get ready for a fast, easy ride into the deep, dark forest.
I have made chocolate bark before, but it was too sweet for my taste and had too many steps. I came up with this concoction and was very pleased with the results.
I used large flaked unsweetened coconut which is nice and chewy and way more flavorful than the shredded stuff. I think even coconut haters would like this stuff.
If you are like me and love peanut butter cups, try some crunchy Barney Butter Bare on top of your clusters for a nice mix up.
Here is the carb count for the bars (17.5 net carbs for the whole bar), not too bad as it makes a bunch.
Nut Clusters
3 Cups nuts of your choice
2 3.5 oz. bars of 90% Cocoa
1 1/2 cups large flake coconut
Himalayan pink salt or kosher salt
Completely melt the chocolate in the microwave.
Mix in the nuts and coconut.
Turn the mixture out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and spread it into a "singleish" layer.
Sprinkle the salt sparingly across the entire top.
Set mixture in a cold place to harden.
Break into large chunks and store in the fridge.
