Ingredients

▢ 2 cups almonds raw
▢ 4 oz. of chocolate milk or if you prefer, dark chopped
▢ 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

Prepare the oven by preheating to 300° F.
Roast the almonds for about 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, in a parchment lined baking sheet.
Put the chocolate in a microwavable bowl, and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted.
You can also melt the chocolate in a double broiler Add a little water in a pot.
Place a glass bowl on top of the pot, making sure it doesn’t touch the water.
Melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally.
Add in the almonds in the melted chocolate.
Mix well until every almond is chocolate coated.
Pour the cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
Add in, a handful of at a time, the chocolate covered almonds.
Mix until all of the almonds are covered with cocoa powder.
Shake the excess cocoa powder off, by picking up the chocolate and cocoa covered almonds and bouncing it from one hand to another.
Place them back in the dish lined with parchment paper.
Allow the almonds to be completely air dried.
They can be stored up to a month, if they last that long.
