Pro Tips
• Use a powdered or confectioners’-style low-carb sweetener for the smoothest texture. Granulated versions can make the bark feel gritty.
• Be extremely careful not to let any water or steam get into the melting cocoa butter, as even a single drop can cause it to seize.
• Customize your bark by adding other keto-friendly toppings like crushed macadamia nuts, lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• Store the finished bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It will soften at warm room temperatures.
