This Healthy Homemade Milk Chocolate is made without the heavy cream, refined white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavorings, and preservatives!
Ingredients
4ozUnsweetened Chocolate(broken into chunks)
128g(½ cup)Natural Almond Butter(or any other neutral flavored nut butter)
In a double boiler, add the unsweetened chocolate and almond butter. Place over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until completely melted.
While the chocolate/almond butter is melting, sift the erythritol and salt into a small bowl. Set aside.
When the chocolate/almond butter is completely melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla paste, butter flavor and stevia extract.
Toss in the sifted erythritol and stir together (the chocolate will seize, that's totally fine). Keep the mixture over the heat for a couple more minutes while stirring/folding. Make sure all the erythritol is dissolved and incorporated thoroughly. It should look like the picture down below.
Chill in the refrigerator until hardened (a couple hours or so), then remove from the molds and wrap in thin tin foil or cellophane wrapping. To store, keep tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes
I didn't expect the recipe to end up making so many chocolate bars so I had to use a variety of my chocolate molds.
