Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of espresso powder
- 2 cups of whole almonds
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of espresso powder into the melted chocolate until well combined.
- Add 2 cups of whole almonds to the chocolate-espresso mixture, and stir until all almonds are evenly coated.
- Using a fork or a slotted spoon, remove the almonds from the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the almonds to an airtight container and store at room temperature until ready to serve.
Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds with a hint of espresso have a rich history dating back to ancient Mediterranean cultures, where almonds were revered for their health benefits. The addition of espresso adds a delightful depth of flavor, elevating this classic treat to a new level of indulgence. Renowned chefs in Italy and Spain have long incorporated this combination into their confections, infusing the almonds with the bold essence of espresso before enrobing them in luxurious dark chocolate. Today, this delectable treat can be found in artisanal chocolate shops and specialty cafes around the world, offering a perfect balance of nuttiness, bittersweet chocolate, and a subtle kick of espresso. For the best version, ensure the almonds are perfectly roasted and the espresso is of high quality, enhancing the overall taste experience.
