Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole raw almonds
  • 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Toast 8 to 10 minutes, shaking once, until fragrant and light brown inside when you bite one. Cool 10 minutes.
  3. Line the baking sheet with parchment.
  4. Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth.
  5. Stir the cooled almonds into the chocolate until every nut is coated.
  6. Drop 20 heaping tablespoon mounds onto the parchment and sprinkle each with a few flakes of salt.
  7. Refrigerate about 20 minutes, until firm. Store in a covered container in the fridge.
Tip: Let the almonds cool fully before mixing. Warm nuts keep the chocolate soft and the clusters spread flat.
Dad jokeThese almond clusters are so good, I cannot stop eating them. I guess I am nuts about them, but in a clustered kind of way.
