Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1.5 cups dairy-free dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the raw almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they are evenly roasted. Remove from oven and let them cool completely.
Step 4
While the almonds are cooling, prepare a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a few inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top so that it fits snugly without touching the water.
Step 5
Add the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil into the heatproof bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Add the roasted almonds to the melted chocolate and stir until the almonds are completely coated.
Step 8
Using a fork, transfer the coated almonds back to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out to prevent clusters from forming.
Step 9
Lightly sprinkle the sea salt over the chocolate-coated almonds while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 10
Let the chocolate-coated almonds set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Step 11
Once the chocolate is fully set, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy your dairy-free chocolate-coated almonds as a quick snack or treat!
