Ingredients
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (55%–85% cocoa, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 cup whole almonds (raw or roasted)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Spread almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Add cooled almonds to the melted chocolate and stir to coat evenly.
- Line a sheet with parchment paper. Drop tablespoon-size portions of coated almonds onto the paper to form about 16 clusters.
- Freeze for 10–12 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
- Optional: sprinkle sea salt flakes on top before serving.
Notes
- Use slivered or sliced almonds for easier biting.
- Add cinnamon or cardamom to the melted chocolate for a spiced twist.
- Swap in seeds or dried fruit for added texture or sweetness.
- Choose high-cocoa chocolate (70–85%) for lower sugar content.
- Store chilled for best texture and shelf life.
