Recipe Ingredients

  • ½ cup almonds, crushed into chunks

    Doesn't get much easier than this. I sprayed an empty ice cube tray with cooking spray. Easy removal - twist and pop out. I would think a mini muffin tin would also work, too. Thanks for the recipe!

    Simple and delicious! I LOVED the flavor of the roasted almonds with the chocolate (I used milk chocolate b/c that's all I had on hand). This is going into my regular candy rotation and I could totally see adding some coconut to this as well...a definite keeper YUM!!!!! Thanks for sharing.:)

    Rock on!! How can you go wrong with dark chocolate and toasted almonds? You can't. Period. PS. I suggest using moulds. I tried with and without and freeform just made a mess.
