Instructions
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
- Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to avoid burning.
Melting and Mixing
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave using 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring each time. Add coconut oil when melted.
- Stir in the almonds, crunch add in, and a pinch of salt until well coated.
Forming Clusters
- Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the parchment paper.
Setting
- Chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes or in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
Notes
Keep water away from melting chocolate to avoid seizing. Store in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer.
