Main Ingredients- 1 cup almonds (approx. 100g)
- 260g dark or milk chocolate
- 5 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 5 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar (5 Tbsp) and water (2 Tbsp). Heat over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
Step 2
Once the sugar syrup begins to bubble gently, add the almonds. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula. As the syrup cooks down, it will start to form white crystals on the almonds. This ‘candy coating’ process makes them extra crispy. Continue stirring for about 2-3 minutes until a good amount of crystallization occurs.
Step 3
Add the butter (2 Tbsp) and mix it in. As the butter melts, it will help to dissolve some of the crystals and give the almonds a glossy finish. The butter adds a wonderful richness. Carefully pour the coated almonds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out so they don’t stick together. Let them cool completely; this is crucial for the next step.
Step 4
Break the chocolate (260g) into small pieces or use chocolate chips. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Let the chocolate melt gently, stirring occasionally. Once fully melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5
Add the melted chocolate to the cooled, candied almonds a little at a time. Stir thoroughly to ensure each almond is evenly coated with chocolate. Use a spatula or spoon to gently mix, breaking up any clumps of almonds.
Step 6
Place the chocolate-coated almonds and cocoa powder (5 Tbsp) into a large plastic bag (like a Ziploc bag). Seal the bag tightly. Shake the bag vigorously to evenly coat the almonds with cocoa powder. The cocoa powder prevents the chocolate from sticking too much and adds a sophisticated flavor. Transfer to a serving dish. Your delicious homemade Amande Chocolat is ready!
