Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Have your silicone chocolate molds ready — a classic bar mold, a small bar mold or a square mold. 0:50
- Set a glass or steel bowl over a pan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of simmering water and melt the cocoa butter in it, stirring now and then. 1:05
- Add the powdered allulose and stir until it partly dissolves; sweetener never fully melts in fat, so use the finest powder you can. 1:35
- Stir in the coconut milk powder and the salt. 2:20
- Turn off the heat, add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Lift the bowl off and keep stirring (pouring it into a jug helps) until it is just lukewarm. 2:45
- Pour into the molds, tap them a few times to level, and press roasted nuts on top of some while still liquid. 3:50
- Chill in the fridge or freezer until set, then pop the chocolates out of the molds. Wrap them and keep in the fridge or freezer — they soften at room temperature. 5:22
Tip. Coconut oil or butter can replace the cocoa butter, and powdered erythritol or monk fruit the allulose. Heavy-cream powder works instead of coconut milk powder but is not dairy-free. The cook topped a few with unsweetened dried cranberries.

Magnesium8%
35 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (72%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Iron5%
0.9 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (77%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Zinc5%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (64%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin E4%
0.7 mg a serve, mostly from roasted almonds (70%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Selenium3%
1.4 µg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (52%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Potassium2%
110 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (68%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin K2%
2.3 µg a serve, mostly from cocoa butter (92%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Omega-32%
0 g a serve, mostly from roasted pecans (57%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Calcium1%
13 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (48%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Folate1%
3 µg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (53%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B61%
0 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened coconut milk powder (41%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin A0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from roasted pecans (100%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened coconut milk powder (69%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
