Making almond chocolate bars at home is simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to create this irresistible treat.
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate (chopped)
- 100g roasted almonds (roughly chopped)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (for smoothness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
1. Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave. Gently melt chopped chocolate with coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Avoid overheating.
2. Mix in Nuts & Flavor: Stir in chopped almonds, vanilla extract, and sea salt (if using) until evenly distributed.
3. Set the Bars: Pour the mixture into a lined 8x8 inch baking tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
4. Chill: Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until firm. For extra crunch, sprinkle a few whole almonds on top before chilling.
5. Cut & Serve: Remove from the tray, peel off the liner, and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Variations:
- Add a drizzle of white chocolate for visual appeal.
- Substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate for a sweeter taste.
- Mix in dried cranberries or sea salt flakes for a twist.
