Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your workspace and gathering all the ingredients: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped pecans, sugar-free caramel sauce, and coconut oil.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar-free chocolate chips to the saucepan.
- Stir the chocolate chips continuously until they are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to let the chocolate burn.
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.
- While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the melted chocolate, pressing them down gently to ensure they adhere.
- Next, drizzle the sugar-free caramel sauce over the top of the chocolate and pecans. You can use a spoon or a squeeze bottle for more control over the drizzle pattern.
- Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the bark is set and firm, remove it from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife or your hands to break the bark into pieces of your desired size.
- Store the Caramel Pecan Turtle Bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or enjoy immediately!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, measure and chop your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Watch the Heat: When melting the chocolate, keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent burning. If you notice any signs of scorching, remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to experiment with different nuts or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist!
- Storage: For the best texture, store the Caramel Pecan Turtle Bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to two weeks, but we doubt it will last that long!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your bark alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat, or package it as a thoughtful gift for friends and family!
