Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Toast the raw almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Let them cool completely before proceeding.
Finely chop the toasted almonds or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped almonds. Mix until fully incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Scoop out small amounts of the almond mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each session, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each almond ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the bonbon back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each bonbon before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the bonbons for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
Store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
