  • 4 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 3/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 2/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder

  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt (only if using unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped

  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
