Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups raw almonds
2 cups dark chocolate chips or chunks

Prepare Almonds: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool completely.

Coat Almonds: Add the cooled almonds to the melted chocolate and stir until all almonds are evenly coated.
Set Chocolate: Using a fork, transfer the chocolate-covered almonds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out so they don’t stick together. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
