Keto Dark Chocolate Macadamia Sea Salt Bars (Fat Bombs)
These Keto dark chocolate macadamia sea salt bars strike a careful balance between sweet and salty. Dark chocolate is paired with creamy macadamia nuts with a sprinkle of salt to break up the richness. Plus, they’re fat bombs so not only do they satisfy your sweet tooth, but they also give you the energy boost you need to get through the day.
What’s the Deal with Macadamia Nuts?
Macadamia nuts are low in carbs and packed with good fats, which makes them ideal for the Keto diet. They may bring Hawaii to mind, but they were discovered in Australia and are now grown all over the world including South Africa.
Macadamia nuts are also linked to a whole host of health benefits. A diet which includes nuts is associated with lower rates of cancer and heart disease [1]. The nutrients found in macadamia nuts, in particular, have been found to have a positive effect on brain development and function [2].
Mix and Match Your Chocolate Bars
These macadamia nut chocolate bars are perfect on their own, but a little creativity means you’ll never get tired of this recipe. Here are some variations to try, just remember that varying the ingredients may change the nutritional values so substitute thoughtfully!
- Embrace the tropical by adding some unsweetened coconut flakes along with the macadamia nuts. If you’re feeling especially fancy you can toast the nuts and coconut along with a dash of ginger and some lime zest.
- Go cool with peppermint by adding a drop or two of peppermint extract to the chocolate mixture before shaping.
- Mix it up by drizzling a spoonful of cacao butter over the top for a lovely mix of light and dark.
- If you don’t have macadamia nuts, you can always substitute another nut such as hazelnuts or almonds or even brazil nuts, just don’t forget to check the difference in carbs.
