Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of wax paper to prevent sticking.
Finely chop the almonds and set them aside in a small bowl.
Roughly chop the dark chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate to ensure a smooth and glossy finish.
Microwave the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth.
Dip each spoon into the melted chocolate, tilting and rotating to coat the bowl of the spoon generously.
Hold the spoon above the bowl for a few seconds to let the excess chocolate drip off.
Sprinkle the crushed almonds onto the chocolate-coated portion of the spoon while the chocolate is still wet.
Place each spoon on the prepared wax paper and repeat the process for the remaining spoons.
Once all the spoons are coated, allow them to set completely at room temperature, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve the chocolate almond spoons with coffee or hot chocolate, or package them as gifts!
