How to Make These Keto Almond Clusters
These sugar-free almond clusters are one of my favorite sweet snacks since they are super easy to make quickly. Here is everything you need to do:
- I chopped one of my favorite dark chocolate bars into little pieces to melt easier in the microwave. Make sure that the dark chocolate you choose has at least 85% Cocoa. You can also use unsweetened chocolate flakes or dark chocolate chips.
- You can carefully melt these two ingredients in the microwave to make things faster or use the double boiler method (Bain Marie).
- Using a frying pan over medium heat, prepare the almonds and give them a nice roasted taste. Add the almonds and stir until they get a nice brown color.
- Let the almonds cool down, then coat them with the delicious chocolate we had just prepared earlier.
Drop tablespoons of the chocolate almond mixture onto ungreased baking sheets.

I love simple and delicious recipes. Thanks for stopping by and I for all your kind comments. You made my day!!
Thanks for the recipe! I've been trying not to use any artificial sugar, so I added a little vanilla instead of a sweetener, and they are wonderful!
How much vanilla..I’m going to try to make them and does it make them sweet enough?
Thank you for the wonderful, simple, quick, and easy recipe !
Hope you can help me with this. Can I replace the almonds with macademia or walnuts ? If yes, may I know the macros for each piece ? Thank you !
Macadamia Nuts, Walnuts or Pecans are great in this recipe. The macros will slightly change. You can use Myfitnesspal to calculate the exact macros for your ingredients.
