Keto Chocolate Almond Fudge Slices

This may be one of my favorite low-carb desserts! These healthy low-carb almond butter fudge slices topped with dark chocolate taste just like traditional Buckeye candy but in bar form and without the sugar crash!

Using only a few simple keto-friendly ingredients this is an easy recipe that’s great for taking to covered dish dinners or to just have on hand when you have a bit of a sweet tooth or are craving a chocolate bar.

These healthy fat bombs are best kept in the refrigerator so that stay firm, plus they’re just really great cold. If taking these to a party simple freeze them for an hour or so before heading out, by the time you get to the party they’ll be nice and soft.
