Instructions

Prepare the baking sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Pro tip: A non-stick surface will make it easier to remove the almond rocks once set.

Melt the chocolate

Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

Pro tip: Avoid overheating by stirring thoroughly after each interval.

Add the almonds

Fold the roasted almonds into the melted chocolate, ensuring each almond is fully coated.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently mix the almonds into the chocolate.

Form the almond rocks

Using a spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate-coated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cluster.

Pro tip: Aim for clusters with 4-5 almonds for a perfect bite size.

Garnish with sea salt

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each cluster for added flavour.

Pro tip: Sea salt enhances the flavour of the chocolate and almonds.

Let the clusters set

Allow the almond rocks to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

Pro tip: For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
