Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Heatproof Mixing Bowl
  • Chocolate Bar Molds
  • Half Sheet Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces mini dark chocolate chips
  • 3 ounces roasted and salt almonds
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Roughly chop the almonds.
  • Add about three quarters of the almonds into the melted chocolate and stir to combine completely.
  • Transfer the chocolate to the molds. Sprinkles the tops with the remaining chopped almonds and add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
  • Transfer the molds to the fridge or freezer to set.
  • Store in a cool dry place. If you don't temper the chocolate, you may want to store in the fridge.

Notes

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! Learn more at How to Temper Chocolate for Candy Making.
  • Feel free to substitute the almonds for another kind of nut. Cashews, pecans, or peanuts would all be delicious options.
  • You can also add seeds into these chocolate bars. Try pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds for added texture and flavor!
  • I use dark chocolate, but you can also use milk chocolate or white chocolate too.
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
