Chocolate Covered Almonds
Description
This recipe involves melting semisweet chocolate gently in short microwave bursts to avoid burning, then dipping small batches of almonds at a time using a slotted spoon. Excess chocolate is scraped off before placing the almonds on parchment paper. A dusting of flaky sea salt is applied while the chocolate is still wet to add a crunch and subtle saltiness complementing the sweet chocolate and natural almond flavor.
The coated almonds are chilled in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets firmly, resulting in a glossy finish and a snap when bitten. These treats balance creamy chocolate, crunchy nuts, and savory salt, making them a simple yet satisfying snack or gift idea.
Careful melting and handling help ensure smooth, even chocolate coverage without clumps or bloom.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces almonds
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate disks
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flaky
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments.
- Dip the 4 almonds at a time with a slotted spoon, scrape most of the chocolate off the bottom of them and place onto parchment paper to harden and sprinkle sea salt over the top and allow the almonds to fully in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use short microwave intervals when melting chocolate to prevent burning; stir between bursts.
- Dip almonds in small batches for even coating and easier handling.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt while chocolate is wet to ensure it adheres well.
- Chill dipped almonds in the refrigerator until chocolate is fully hardened before serving or storing.
