Line an 8x8 dish with parchment paper, setting it aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, nut butter, and coconut oil until you have a smooth mixture.
Stir in the pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, and peanuts until they are fully coated with the chocolate mixture. Reserve a pinch of the nuts and seeds for sprinkling on top if desired.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to the lined dish and smooth the top so the bars have an even thickness.
Sprinkle the remaining nuts and seeds on top if desired.
Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 3 hours before slicing into bars.
Store your keto candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
If you only have whole nuts on hand, save time by throwing them in a sandwich bag, zipping it tightly, and crushing them with a rolling pin or heavy pan. From here, you can easily use them in this recipe.
Use sugar-free dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead of chocolate chips.
You can also use sugar-free white chocolate (if you like white chocolate!).
If you prefer a sweeter treat, add a keto-friendly or natural sweetener to the chocolate mixture. Monk fruit sweetener is a great option.
Wrap up these candies with some beautiful cellophane and ribbon. These keto candy packs make excellent holiday gifts or stocking stuffers around this time of the year.
