Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole raw or dry-roasted almonds

  • 150g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), melted

  • 2–3 tbsp Pure unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt flakes (optional for contrast)

  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup or honey (optional for extra sweetness)

    Prep Almonds: Place the whole almonds in a clean, dry container or bowl. If using raw almonds, optionally dry-roast them in a pan for 3–5 minutes for extra crunch.
  2. 02

    Coat with Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Pour the melted chocolate over the almonds.
