Instructions
- First of all, prepare all your ingredients. The choice of chocolate also depends on you and your preference. You can do white chocolate, milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips and bars, and even semi sweet chocolate chips. Chip the chocolate bars into small pieces for them to melt faster.
- Melt your chocolate pieces and coconut oil in a heatproof large bowl set over an instant pot of simmering water at low heat. Stir with a stick until the chocolate lumps are completely melted and smooth. Once the chocolate is melted, prepare almonds for dipping.
- Dip the almonds in the melted chocolate bowl, stirring every piece to cover it evenly. Make sure they are evenly coated to make the perfect cluster. Using a tablespoon, drop small clusters of the chocolate mixture onto a wooden board with parchment or wax paper, leaving space between each cluster. For easy shaping, you can form the clusters using mini cupcake liners or a cookie scoop. Make sure you form a heap out of the chocolate-covered nuts and that they are stuck together.
- After forming them on a parchment-lined board or a baking sheet, sprinkle on top with sea salt while the chocolate is still soft and silky. The sea salt will make an excellent contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate. Refrigerate for 1 hour; they should be perfectly chilled and ready for snacking.
