1 Cup Almonds
1 Cup Sugar Free Chocolate
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Sea Salt - Optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients needed. Start by ensuring your high-quality almonds are dry. If they have any moisture, it can affect the chocolate coating later. Spread them out on a baking sheet and let them fully air dry.
Prepare your Instant Pot and melt the dark chocolate in a medium bowl with coconut oil. You can use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolates. Stir in between until completely melted and smooth using a stick or spoon.
Once the chocolate is silky and completely melted, pour the almonds into the chocolate bowl. Ensure each almond is generously covered with the chocolate to avoid uneven coating. Use a stick or spoon to dip the whole almonds in. After ensuring they are coated, use a sieve to get all the almonds and prevent waste of the excess chocolates. If you do not have a small sieve, you can use a fork to get the almonds individually.
Place the chocolate coated almonds in a tray with parchment paper using long tweezers or any dipping tool. Make sure to place each almond one at a time and make spaces from each piece to prevent the chocolates from sticking. And for the perfect flavor contrast, sprinkle a little sea salt over the almonds while the chocolate is still wet. It is only optional, you can leave yours unsalted if you want. Dry for at least 30 seconds before chilling it in the refrigerator.

Notes

Parchment paper - line your tray with parchment paper before spreading the chocolate-covered almonds. This not only prevents sticking but also prevents any mess to clean up.
Sea salt - if you want a perfect sweet-and-savory balance, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the almonds while the chocolate is still wet. It would enhance the flavor, and you'd like it better.
Experiment with flavors - try different varieties of almonds, or experiment with flavored chocolates like mint or orange-infused dark chocolate. You might discover a new favorite combination.
