Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate Almond Clusters

The perfect harmony of rich, velvety chocolate, crunchy roasted almonds, and a sprinkle of sea salt that dances on your taste buds.

Makes 12, 1-inch clusters 

Ingredients

• 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate (70% or higher)

• 2 tablespoons almond milk

• 2 teaspoons coconut oil

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• Dash cinnamon

• 1 cup almonds

• Salt on top

Procedure

1.     Boil a medium-sized pot of water and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2.     Add dark chocolate, almond milk, coconut oil and maple syrup to a large metal bowl. Using a dish towel or pot holder, hold bowl over pot so steam is able to reach the bottom of the bowl. Whisk until mixture becomes smooth.

3.     Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Add almonds and toss to cover with chocolate.

4.     Use a small ice cream scoop to portion out clusters on parchment equally spaced apart.

5.     Sprinkle with salt and freeze for 1 hour before serving. Store chilled.
