I personally stick to the dark chocolate and top with sea salt. There is something about the sweet and salty combo that just completes it for me.
Our family no longer gives gifts to each other for the holiday season.
We’ve all agreed that buying presents was getting a bit overwhelming and the whole process was taking something away from the real purpose of the holiday season. We’ve been doing it this way for four years now and it has seriously been amazing.
What we do now is a white elephant gift exchange of something edible or consumable. Chocolate, wine, whiskey, more chocolate . . . my family pretty much loves anything that belongs to the chocolate or alcohol food groups.
You can’t go wrong.
These Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds just mighttttt be a part of our exchange this year.

Description
Sweet and salty dark chocolate covered almonds are the perfect afternoon snack. A simple recipe with big flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (473 ml) whole almonds
- 6 ounces (170 g) dark chocolate
- Large pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat 1-2 more times until the chocolate is fully melted.
- In a large bowl, stir together almonds and melted chocolate until each almond is coated.
- Lift the almonds out one by one, gently removing excess chocolate. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, then allow the almonds to set completely. Refrigerate to speed up the process.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao.
- To prevent clumping, ensure the almonds are completely dry before coating them in chocolate.
- Store finished almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
