IN THIS POST: Everything you need to learn How to Make Chocolate Covered Almonds
Ingredients for this recipe
- dry roasted almonds – using roasted nuts really adds to the flavor
- dark chocolate chips – for a vegan recipe be sure to check the label for any dairy products
- coconut oil – this helps the chocolate set into a shell after melting
Instructions
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Next, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small saucepan and set it over medium-low heat.
Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
No double boiler needed!
Add the roasted almonds to the pot and coat them with the melted chocolate.
Use two forks and transfer the almonds one by one to the parchment-lined baking tray.
You can also just pour the mixture out and spread them around. This method requires breaking up the almonds from the excess chocolate afterward. Or just enjoy them as chocolate covered almond clusters!
Pop the tray into the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

- Pop them into a jar with a cute bow and give them as DIY gifts.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
