Ingredients
- 3½ oz. 100 g dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids
- 10 10 hazelnuts or pecans or walnuts
- 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons roasted unsweetened coconut chips
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave oven. Bring out 10 small cupcake liners, no bigger than 2 inches in diameter.
- Add the chocolate to the cupcake liners.
- Add nuts, coconut chips, seeds and lastly a few salt flakes if you like the saltier flavor.
- Let cool and store in the refrigerator.
Tip!
If you don’t have cupcake liners, you can just pour the chocolate in a small baking dish with parchment paper, no bigger than 8 inches x 8 inches. Spread nuts and coconut flakes on top and when the chocolate has hardened, break up into nice uneven pieces. You can also add chili for flavor, and perhaps some dry berries if you’re not that sensitive to sugar.
Also, you can mix and match the nuts for your own unique flavor profile!

A serving of the spinach frittata recipe could be the main part of a complete meal. At 3 carbs for the centerpiece of a breakfast, lunch, or dinner, that would count as a very low carb choice. It might even fit into a keto meal plan.
A serving or two of the low carb bread might be part of a sandwich, adding a few extra carbs, but making it more filling and satisfying than, say, plain ham and cheese served alone. Again, it helps fill out a complete low carb meal that might be a little less strict.
But, as the title suggests, this chocolate recipe is a "treat", intended as a dessert or a snack, not a substantial component of a full meal. It would be something extra to enjoy occasionally if you're not trying to maintain a very strict low carb diet.
