Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Almonds (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 170 grams bittersweet or semi-sweet high quality chocolate

02 - 180 grams whole raw unsalted almonds

03 - Coarse or flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

04 - Turbinado or coarse raw sugar, for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

02 - Gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler or, if preferred, microwave in a heat-proof bowl in 30 second increments, stirring well after each interval until smooth. If tempering for a glossy finish, avoid refrigerating the finished nuts.

03 - Add the raw almonds to the melted chocolate and stir thoroughly to evenly coat each nut.

04 - Using a dipping tool or fork, lift individual almonds or small groups from the chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off. Arrange coated almonds spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Evenly sprinkle the coated almonds with a pinch of sea salt and a small amount of turbinado sugar.

06 - Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature, or refrigerate the baking sheet briefly to accelerate the process.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, use high quality chocolate and raw almonds; store coated almonds in an airtight container at room temperature if tempered.
