Chocolate covered almonds are the best dessert!

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!

Should chocolate covered almonds be refrigerated?

That depends on how warm your kitchen is and the time of year. You can leave them at room temperature if you will eat them within a few days.

Otherwise you can store chocolate almonds in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for 1 month.

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