Ingredients:
ยฝ cup almonds, crushed into chunks
7 ounces dark chocolate chips (50% cacao)
Directions:
Step 1: Toast the Almonds Spread the almonds evenly in a large skillet and toast them over medium heat until they start to brown, typically for about 3 to 5 minutes. Once toasted, transfer the almonds to a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Melt the Dark Chocolate In a double boiler placed over simmering water, add the dark chocolate chips. Stir frequently and scrape down the sides of the bowl to prevent scorching. Continue heating until the chocolate is completely melted, which should take approximately 5 minutes.
Step 3: Coat the Almonds with Chocolate Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat source and pour in the toasted almonds. Stir the mixture until the almonds are evenly coated with chocolate.
Step 4: Form Chocolate Almond Rocks Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-almond mixture onto a plate lined with waxed paper. Allow them to cool and set.
Step 5: Chill and Serve Place the plate of chocolate almond rocks in the refrigerator and chill them until they are firm, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed as a delicious sweet treat or dessert.
