Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt flakes, for topping
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Coat the almonds: Using a fork, dip each raw almond into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Tap off any excess chocolate before placing the almonds onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Add sea salt: Immediately sprinkle the dipped almonds with a few flakes of sea salt before the chocolate sets, to enhance flavor with a salty contrast.
- Set the chocolate: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate has hardened completely, about 30 minutes.
- Store properly: Once set, store the chocolate covered almonds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Be sure to stir the chocolate frequently while melting to prevent scorching.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips with semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips depending on preference.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon or chili powder along with the sea salt for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure almonds are completely dry before dipping to help chocolate adhere better.
