What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

  • Almonds
  • Dark chocolate
  • Sea salt
  • Chili powder (optional, but recommended!)

How To Make Them

  1. Line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.
  2. Break your dark chocolate into small pieces and add to a bowl that’s safe for heating.
  3. Fill a pot with water and set the bowl of chocolate inside. (You want to make sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water, but that the sides are covered.) Place the pot on the stove and bring to a low simmer.
  4. Stir the chocolate constantly until it’s almost completely melted. Remove the pot from the heat source and stir the chocolate until it’s smooth.
  5. Pour the almonds into the bowl of melted chocolate and stir, making sure the almonds are completely coated.
  6. With a fork, remove the almonds one by one, wiping any excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Place them onto the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt and chili powder.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Chef’s Tips

  • To make this recipe vegan or dairy-free, make sure you use dark chocolate without added dairy.
  • We used dark chocolate that had already been sweetened, but if you’d like less sugar, use unsweetened chocolate. You can add sugar or another granulated sweetener to your chocolate when you melt it, stirring to combine.
  • You can also melt your chocolate in the microwave if you prefer. Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring between each cook time, until completely melted.
  • This recipe is easy to make into chocolate almond brittle or clusters, too! Instead of spreading out each individual almond on your baking sheet, clump them together in small piles or pour all the chocolate and almonds into a thin sheet, then freeze.
  • Instead of chili powder, try other flavors, like cinnamon or even crushed peppermint.

Instructions 

  • Line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set to the side. Break your dark chocolate into small pieces and add to a bowl that's safe for heating.
  • Fill a pot with water and set the bowl of chocolate inside. (You want to make sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water, but that the sides are covered.) Place the pot on the stove and bring to a low simmer. Stir the chocolate constantly until it's almost completely melted. Remove the pot from the heat source and stir the chocolate until it's smooth. Pour the almonds into the bowl of melted chocolate and stir, making sure the almonds are completely coated.
  • With a fork, remove the almonds one by one, wiping any excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Place them onto the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt and chili powder. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Notes

  • Vegan or dairy free: Use chocolate without dairy.
  • Less/no added sugar: Use unsweetened chocolate and add a small amount of granulated sugar or sugar substitute to the bowl when melting.
  • Melt chocolate in microwave: Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring between each cook time, until completely melted.
  • Make into chocolate almond brittle or clusters: Instead of spreading out each individual almond on your baking sheet, clump them together in small piles or pour all the chocolate and almonds into a thin sheet, then freeze.
  • Flavor variations: Omit chili powder and use cinnamon or crushed peppermint pieces.
