Ingredients

  • 3 ounces dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (raw sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where you place the chocolate-covered almonds to cool.
  • Using a double boiler, melt the chopped dark chocolate over low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat. Add the raw almonds to the bowl and stir until they are fully coated in chocolate.
  • Sprinkle the turbinado sugar and sea salt over the chocolate-coated almonds while they are still warm. Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the coated almonds to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out so they are in a single layer.
  • Allow the almonds to cool at room temperature until the chocolate has fully set. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • Once the chocolate has hardened, your Dark Chocolate Almonds with Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar are ready to be enjoyed!
