60 ml (1/4 cup) dark chocolate (or 45 g / 1.5 oz) (see note)
15 ml (1 tablespoon) coconut oil
15 ml (1 tablespoon) honey or maple syrup

A pinch of salt

Note: For a low-sugar option, choose baking chocolate. Otherwise, dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips are also good choices.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (165°C). Dry roast the almonds for 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden. Let them cool.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals.
Once well melted, stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Set aside.
Coat the roasted almonds in the chocolate mixture, making sure each almond is well coated.
Spread the coated almonds on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, ensuring they do not touch.
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before transferring the almonds to an airtight container.
