Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Almond Clusters Recipe

Indulge in a guilt-free treat with this easy and delicious Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Almond Clusters recipe. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the added sugars!

Ingredients

• 6 oz Sugar-Free Chocolate: A healthier alternative to regular chocolate, keeping the clusters indulgently chocolatey without the extra sugar.
• 1/2 Cup No Sugar Added Peanut Butter: This adds a creamy, nutty flavor and binds the clusters together, while keeping the sugar content low.
• 2 cups Almonds: They provide a satisfying crunch and are packed with healthy fats and proteins.

Instructions

1. Preparing the Mixture

• Begin by melting the sugar-free chocolate and no sugar added peanut butter together. Use a low heat setting to prevent burning. Stir continuously until the ingredients are thoroughly blended, forming a smooth and creamy mixture.

2. Preparing the Almonds

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the clusters later.
• Spread the almonds evenly on the lined cookie sheet. This will be the base for your chocolate and peanut butter mixture.

3. Combining the Ingredients

• Once the chocolate and peanut butter mixture is ready, pour it over the almonds on the cookie sheet.
• Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread the mixture to cover all almonds evenly. You can also use parchment paper to press into one large piece. This is suggested for easier clustering.

4. Freezing

• Place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Let it freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until the mixture is set and hard.

5. Creating Clusters

• After freezing, remove the sheet from the freezer. Break the set mixture into clusters of your desired size. You can make them as big or as small as you like.

6. Serving and Storage

• Your sugar-free dark chocolate almond clusters are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful snack or a healthy dessert option.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and crunch.

Nutritional Benefits

• Sugar-Free Chocolate: A great alternative for those monitoring their sugar intake, providing the chocolate flavor without the spike in blood sugar levels.
• Peanut Butter: Rich in protein and healthy fats, it’s an excellent energy booster.
• Almonds: Packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein, almonds add a nutritious crunch to the clusters.

Enjoy your homemade, sugar-free dark chocolate almond clusters! They are delicious and a healthier choice for a quick snack or dessert.
