almond clusters
Last week I went over to a friend’s place for dinner and wanted to bring a fun fall hostess gift. I found this recipe in Woman’s Day Magazine. It takes about 10 minutes to make, 2 hours to cool in the fridge, and is the easiest homemade gift I’ve been able to give in a long time. I wrapped the clusters in a simple paper bag wrapped with twine.
It was a hit!
Almond Chocolate Clusters with Sea Salt
Chocolate Almond Clusters with Sea Salt.
8 ounces good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups raw, whole unsalted almonds
sea salt
- Melt the chopped chocolate. These are several methods of melting chocolate: in the microwave (make sure you microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth);
- As soon as the chocolate is melted and smooth, add the almonds and stir well to completely coat all almonds with the chocolate
- Using a tablespoon, drop chocolate almond mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or into small cups to cool.
- While the chocolate is still warm and has not set yet, sprinkle each cluster with a pinch of sea salt.
- Let the clusters cool completely until chocolate is firm (I put them into the freezer to speed the cooling process). Store in sealed container away from heat or direct sunlight.
