Ingredients

  

• 1 cup whole almonds raw or roasted
• 1 cup dark chocolate or milk chocolate, if preferred
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil to help smooth the chocolate
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt optional, for added flavor

Optional Add-ins

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra flavor
• A handful of dried fruit like cranberries or cherries
• A pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Roast the almonds: Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for 8-10 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
• Melt the chocolate: While the almonds are roasting, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
• Mix the almonds with chocolate: Once the almonds are done roasting and the chocolate is melted, pour the almonds into the bowl of melted chocolate. Stir to coat all the almonds in chocolate.
• Add sea salt: Sprinkle the sea salt over the chocolate-covered almonds for a sweet-salty contrast.
• Cool the almonds: Lay the chocolate-coated almonds out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool and set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. If you're in a hurry, place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
• Store or serve: Once the chocolate is set, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl or store them in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

These chocolate almond nuts are incredibly easy to make and can be customized to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter treat, feel free to use milk chocolate or add more sweetener. For a healthier version, try using dark chocolate with a high cacao percentage (70% or more). If you want to mix things up, you can add dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or even cherries to give the almonds a fruity twist. And of course, you can always adjust the level of salt to suit your taste!
