I LOVE Chocolate covered almonds and wanted to try my hand at making a raw chocolate version. It was really simple. They came out more like Clusters actually. Messy and delightfully delish!
Here is how I did it:
about a 1/2 cup melted Cacao butter
1 cup of ground Chocolate Bliss (I used my coffee grinder)
1/4 Cup of Vanilla Agave
1 1/2 cups raw almonds (you may soak them and dehydrate them if you wish but I didn’t I was to anxious to give it a try)
a sprinkling of sunfire salt
Just add the ingredients into a bowl and throw in your almonds stir em all up and spread them all out on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and freeze (you may sprinkle with sunfire salt if you so desire) and Viola’! a quick and chocolatey crunchy snack! You could add any variation to this that you want. You could add Goji Berries which I intend to try as well… and I intend to also try walnuts and pistachios since I have a ton of them on hand
Note: I made the mistake at first of putting almonds in the chocolate that had just come out of the freezer. They immediately froze the cacao butter and I had a big chocolate almond ball. I had to put it over some steam really quick to un-stick them. So I advise using room temperature almonds.
Enjoy!
