Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds evenly on the baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt the mixture over a double boiler, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until smooth.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the granulated sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully integrated.
Roughly chop the toasted almonds and fold them into the chocolate mixture ensuring they are well coated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the chocolate almond mixture onto a new baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming small pralines.
Refrigerate the pralines for at least 30 minutes or until they are set and firm.
Once set, remove the pralines from the refrigerator, store them in an airtight container, and keep them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
