Ingredients
- Dark Chocolate: I use organic mini dark cherries chips for ease. You can also use a chopped up chocolate bar if you prefer.
- Almonds: I use organic roasted and salted almonds for flavor. You can use raw if you prefer but the roasted almonds provide much more depth of flavor.
- Flaky Sea Salt: I top these homemade chocolate bars with a flaky sea salt.
Tools Needed
- Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- Heatproof Mixing Bowl: You’ll need a heatproof mixing bowl to melt the chocolate.
- Chocolate Molds: You’ll need chocolate bar molds to make these bars. I use silicone chocolate bar molds.
- Baking Sheet: Because the chocolate molds are silicone, I like to place them on a baking sheet so they are sturdy to move around.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Add the chocolate molds to a baking sheet. I find it’s easiest to place the molds on a baking sheet so you can move them around easily.
Step 2
Add the chocolate to a heatproof mixing bowl. You can melt using a double boiler or doing 30 second intervals in the microwave, be sure to stir between each one to prevent burning. If you want to temper the chocolate you can also do that.
Step 3
Roughly chop the almonds.
Step 4
Add about three quarters of the almonds into the melted chocolate and stir to combine completely.
Step 5
Transfer the chocolate to the molds. Sprinkles the tops with the remaining chopped almonds and add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Step 6
Transfer the molds to the fridge or freezer to set.
Baker’s Tips
- You can temper the chocolate if you want, but it’s not necessary. I really only temper chocolate when I’m gifting something. If it’s just for me then I skip this step because I’m lazy and I’m just going to eat it!
- Feel free to substitute the almonds for another kind of nut. Cashews, pecans, or peanuts would all be delicious options.
- I use dark chocolate, but you can also use milk chocolate or white chocolate too.
FAQ’s
To make chocolate bars, you’ll need chocolate molds. But if you don’t have them, you can make bark instead and pour the melted chocolate onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Just break up the chocolate into pieces once it’s set. It will be just as tasty!
It’s best to wrap homemade chocolate in foil. If you temper the chocolate you can store at room temperature in your pantry. If you don’t temper you may want to store in the fridge. You can also freeze them if you want them to last even longer.
