* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Chop the chocolate into pieces about the size of an almond.
Put everything in a jar or bowl with the salt and stir or shake.
Done looks like: Chocolate spread evenly through the mix. Portion into 4 small containers or bags so a serving stays a serving.
Equipment
Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50
What to look for
- Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
- Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years
Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.
Cutting board $10–30
What to look for
- At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
- Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher
Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate melts into clumps | Stored somewhere warm. | Keep the jar in a cool cupboard, or in the fridge in summer. |
| Nuts taste stale | Old nuts; the oils go rancid. | Taste the almonds before mixing. They should taste sweet, not bitter or like paint. |
Notes
Allergies: removing an allergen from the recipe does not remove it from your kitchen or from other products. Check labels for "may contain" warnings.
