Sugar-free Scorched Almonds Recipe (THM S)

It's a well-known fact in our family that scorched almonds are my favourite chocolate. They're just so smooth and chocolatey on the outside, but then have that deliciously crunchy almond centre. I love them!

However, since I can put on weight by just looking at scorched almonds, I decided to come up with a healthier alternative to enjoy. This sugar-free scorched almonds recipe is so simple (just two ingredients), that I almost hesitate to call it a recipe. But here you go anyway:

Sugar-free Scorched Almonds Recipe (THM S)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (I use Healtheries Baking Bits)
• 1/3 cup roasted almonds (approximately 50 almonds)

Method

1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. 
2. Melt the chocolate chips either in a double boiler or in a Pyrex jug in the microwave. If using the microwave, melt the chocolate on high for 30 seconds, then give it a stir and put it back in the microwave for another 15 seconds. Stir some more until the chocolate gets nice and melty and smooth. 
3. Throw the roasted almonds into the melted chocolate and stir to coat them. 
4. Using a spoon, pull the coated almonds out one by one and drop them onto the baking paper-lined tray. 
5. Once all of the almonds are spread out on the tray, place the tray in the fridge so the chocolate can set.
6. Once the chocolate has set, remove the chocolate covered almonds to an airtight container.
