Grind the almonds to a medium consistency, not too coarse or too fine.
Use a blender to grind the chocolate.
Lightly grease a baking pan.
Over low to moderate heat, place coconut blossom sugar in a cooking pot and melt while stirring.
Add the diced pears and cook, stirring, over low heat until all the hardened sugar melts. Allow it to cool and thicken slightly, but it should remain liquid.
