Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almonds
- 16 ounces Dark chocolate (or semisweet chocolate)
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the almonds are cooling, prepare the chocolate. Chop the dark chocolate into small, evenly sized pieces to ensure smooth melting.
Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate over low heat. Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help achieve a glossy finish.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the roasted almonds are completely cool, mix them into the melted chocolate until all the almonds are evenly coated.
Pour the chocolate-coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula to form a thin, even layer.
Optional: Sprinkle a light dusting of sea salt on top of the bark for a sweet-and-salty flavor.
Allow the almond bark to cool and set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the bark is fully set, break it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
