Ingredients (makes about 24–28 clusters)

  • 8 oz sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped sugar-free chocolate bar (Lily’s, ChocZero, or similar)

  6. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  7. Once hardened, remove from the parchment and store in an airtight container.
