Almond Chocolate Crunch
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven by setting the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, which you can find in most kitchen supply stores.
3
Place the prepared baking pan on a flat surface and set it aside for now.
4
Heat a skillet over medium heat, stirring the chopped almonds constantly until they turn golden brown.
5
This process should take around 5-7 minutes, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
6
Remove the skillet from heat once the almonds are golden brown, as this will help them retain their flavor and aroma.
7
Transfer the toasted almonds to a separate container for later use.
8
In another bowl, melt the chocolate chips by placing them in a metal bowl that is set over a pan of simmering water.
9
This technique allows you to melt the chocolate while keeping it warm, which is essential for achieving a smooth consistency.
10
Continue to heat the water until it reaches a simmer, then place the metal bowl over it.
11
Allow the chocolate to melt and become smooth, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps from forming.
12
Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat source and stir in 1/2 cup of toasted almonds.
13
Transfer the chocolate mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the surface.
14
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of toasted almonds over the top of the chocolate layer.
15
Place the baking pan in the refrigerator to chill until it becomes solid, which should take around 30 minutes.
16
Once the chocolate has set, remove it from the refrigerator and break it into bite-sized pieces to serve.
