Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw or roasted almonds
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almonds: If using raw almonds, roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned to enhance crunch and flavor.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
  3. Mix in Vanilla and Salt: Stir in a splash of vanilla extract for additional aroma, then fold in a pinch of flaky sea salt to incorporate flavor.
  4. Coat the Almonds: Add the roasted almonds to the melted chocolate and stir thoroughly until each almond is completely coated.
  5. Spread and Sprinkle: Arrange the coated almonds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle additional flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the almonds for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate hardens, then enjoy or store as desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • Melt chocolate slowly to avoid burning and achieve a silky finish.
  • Flaky sea salt adds texture and bursts of flavor.
  • Do not over-roast almonds to prevent bitterness and preserve crunch.
  • Ensure chocolate is fully set before storage to avoid stickiness.
