Prepare a muffin tin or silicone praline mold by lightly brushing with melted coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces for quicker melting.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Ensure the bowl does not touch the water.
Once melted, remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let cool slightly.
Divide the melted chocolate between 12 sections of the prepared mold, filling each section about halfway.
Sprinkle the roasted almonds and hazelnuts over the chocolate in each section.
Add the almond butter mixture into each mold on top of the nuts and chocolate.
Finish by pouring the remaining melted chocolate over each mold to cover the nut and almond butter mixture.
Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles and to spread the chocolate evenly.
Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Once fully set, remove the pralines from the mold and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
