Keto Chocolate Crunch Bars
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Salted Macadamia Nuts, chopped
- 1 cup Pork Rinds (measured after crushing), see notes
- 2 Tbsp Hemp Hearts
Instructions
- Place pork rinds in a plastic bag, zip it shut, and crush them into small pieces (no more than 1/4"). You can use your hands, a wooden spoon, a measuring cup, anything that isn't too sharp that could puncture the bag. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. This usually takes about 3-4 intervals.
- Add the pork rinds, macadamia nuts, and hemp hearts to the melted chocolate. Stir well to completely coat eveything with the chocolate.
- You can either spread the mixture onto a parchment lined pan and cut/break apart after it's been chilled, or spread into a bar mold.
- Place in the freezer to let hardeen for about 30 minutes. Once firm, remove from freezer and cut/break into bars (if you didn't use a mold).
- Store in the fridge in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If you don't have pork rind crumbs, just take whole (unflavored) pork rinds and put them in a zip-top bag, press out as much air as you can, seal it up, and crush until there are pretty small pieces. You can use your hands, a can, a rolling pin, whatever gets the job done.
