Begin by preparing a double boiler: Fill a medium-sized pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heat-safe bowl over the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.
Chop the unsweetened chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in the heat-safe bowl.
Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and stir occasionally until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the stevia extract, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the melted chocolate mixture ensuring everything is well combined.
Stir in the roasted pecans, ensuring they are fully coated with the chocolate.
In a silicone mold or a lined mini muffin tin, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-nut mixture into each cavity.
Place a small dollop (approximately 1 teaspoon) of almond butter on top of the chocolate-nut mixture in each cavity.
Cover the almond butter with another tablespoon of the chocolate-nut mixture, ensuring the almond butter is fully encased.
Gently tap the mold or tin on the counter to remove any air bubbles and to level the surface.
Refrigerate the pralines for at least 1 hour or until they are fully set.
Once set, remove the pralines from the mold and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
