Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for smoothness)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Almonds: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let them cool.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Coat the Almonds: Add the cooled almonds to the melted chocolate and stir until fully coated.
- Set the Coated Almonds: Use a fork to lift the chocolate-covered almonds from the bowl, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Salt: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- Chill: Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Once set, store in an airtight container.
