Equipment

  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • Optional topping: chopped almonds

Instructions

  • Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl.
  • Heat on high power for 20 seconds.
  • Stir, then heat on high power for another 20 seconds. Continue heating the chocolate for 20 seconds at a time, then stirring afterwards, until melted (alternatively you can melt the chocolate chips in a pot on the stove set to low heat).
  • Once the chocolate chips have melted, add the almond butter to the bowl, then stir to combine.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate almond butter mixture for 30 minutes.
  • When it's done chilling, stir the chocolate almond butter mixture, then leave it at room temperature for five minutes or until it has solidified and has a texture similar to cookie dough.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to a second microwave safe bowl, then repeat steps 2-3 to melt the chocolate.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on a large plate (the paper should be big enough to cover the plate).
  • Scoop out one tablespoon of the chocolate almond butter mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the chocolate almond butter mixture to create eleven more balls.
  • Drop a chocolate almond butter ball into the bowl of melted chocolate and gently stir, ensuring it is completely coated in chocolate.
  • Use two forks to lift the chocolate almond butter ball out of the melted chocolate, then place it on the parchment paper lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the balls.
  • Sprinkle some chopped almonds on top, if desired.
  • Transfer the plate of chocolates to the fridge to harden for at least 45 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store these almond butter chocolates in the fridge for up to seven days or freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to six months.
