Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Sea salt flakes, for topping

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well each time to ensure smooth melting and to avoid burning.
  2. Dip the almonds: Using a fork, dip each raw almond into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated almonds onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  3. Add sea salt: While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle the almonds with flaked sea salt to add a delightful saltiness.
  4. Set the chocolate: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the chocolate harden completely, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Store properly: Once set, store the chocolate covered almonds in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent burning; stirring frequently helps.
  • You can substitute sea salt flakes with coarse kosher salt if needed.
  • For a variation, try using milk chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
  • Make sure almonds are completely dry before dipping to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
  • These treats are perfect for gifting and can be packaged in decorative jars or boxes.
