White Toasted Almond Bark with Sea Salt
Description
The recipe begins by toasting whole raw almonds until they develop a deep roast flavor without burning, intensifying their natural nuttiness. The cooled nuts are then mixed into melted white chocolate combined with coconut oil to achieve a smooth consistency that spreads evenly. Sea salt is incorporated to subtly enhance sweetness and add complexity.
The mixture is spread onto a lined baking sheet and allowed to harden completely at room temperature or in refrigeration. Once set, it is broken or cut into bark-sized pieces. This bark provides a crisp texture from the roasted almonds alongside the sweet and creamy white chocolate coating.
This treat is a suitable snack or dessert, delivering a balance of sweet, salty, and nutty elements. Using coconut oil helps maintain a smooth texture in the chocolate, and the sea salt tempers the sweetness effectively.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup almond whole, raw, skin on
- 20 oz white chocolate or white chocolate confectionery, chopped in small pieces
- 1 Tbsp refined coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Put the nuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 20 minutes. Give the pan a shake from time to time, and watch carefully for the last 5 minutes. You want the almonds to get darkly roasted, but not burnt. Set the pan aside to let the nuts cool on the pan.
- Line a fresh baking sheet with a silpat mat, parchment paper, or non stick foil.
- Put the white chocolate, coconut oil, and salt in a glass microwave safe bowl and heat on full power for a minute. Keep heating, checking, and stirring until the chocolate is melted. If you are using chips they won't look melted until you stir them.
- When the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, stir in the almonds and quickly spread out the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Spread it out evenly to roughly 9 1/2 x 14 inches. (It doesn't have to be exact!)
- Let the bark harden completely before cutting. You can leave it at room temperature or refrigerate it to speed up the process.
- Break apart or slice the bark into whatever size pieces you choose.
- Try not to eat it all before you can share it with someone you love!
Notes
- For melting white chocolate, using a double boiler helps prevent scorching and preserves smoothness.
- Monitor almonds closely during roasting to avoid burning while achieving a dark roast.
- Allow the bark to harden fully before slicing or breaking to maintain clean pieces.
