Salty sweet desserts are my favorite, and these dark chocolate covered almonds are one of the best recipes!

All you need is just three ingredients to make this easy dessert recipe.

Let’s be honest, chocolate covered anything is delicious. We love chocolate covered oreos and chocolate covered pretzels and ritz cracker cookies too!

Chocolate covered almonds are a delicious treat that perfectly pairs the rich and smooth taste of chocolate with the crunch and nutty flavor of almonds.

The sea salt on top adds a delicious salty element to contrast the chocolate.

Sea salt flakes are one of my favorite ways to take the taste of chocolate desserts to the next level!

Ingredients to make chocolate covered almonds

  • Almonds: raw, unsalted almonds are what you need to make this recipe
  • Chocolate Chips: dark chocolate chips taste the best with almonds, but any chocolate will work. To make these vegan, be sure to choose a dairy free chocolate chip.
  • Sea Salt Flakes: for topping

How to make dark chocolate covered almonds

Step 1: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 15-20 seconds.

Watch the chocolate closely to avoid burning towards the end.

Step 2: Dip the almonds one by one into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate, then place onto a wax paper lined baking sheet.

Should chocolate covered almonds be refrigerated?

That depends on how warm your kitchen is and the time of year.

Personally, I prefer to store mine in an airtight bag or container in the freezer as they last longer.

Let me tell you, I was so bummed when I ran out of these.

Every time I was craving something sweet, I would grab a handful of these salty sweet almonds from the freezer and it was just perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth!
