I can tell you that personally, I’ve checked the labels of dozens and dozens of different ‘diet’ type bars, only to be mortified at either the carb count, or the ugly ingredients. I (we ) even broke down and brought some home. Of those, some were sent home with other family members and I confess, a small amount were consumed ere at home.
Eventually, my sensible side kicked in. Whats the sense of eating all this healthy food and then throwing it all down the tube for one piece of chocolate. It just doesn’t make sense.
So, that’s how and why our version of keto chocolate bark was born. In this batch, we used Macadamia nuts and Pecans, but you can substitute any type of nuts (or other ingredients that you prefer. Just remember to keep the carb counts (and ingredients list) in mind for any items that you switch out.
