Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds
8 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil or cocoa butter (optional, for shine)
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread almonds on a separate baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Let cool completely.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Add cooled almonds to the melted chocolate and stir until fully coated.
Using a fork, lift almonds out of the chocolate, letting excess drip off, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

Tips

For milk chocolate, use 8 oz milk chocolate and omit coconut oil.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
For a festive touch, drizzle with white chocolate after setting.
