Dark Chocolate Almond Bark

Dark chocolate almond bark is by far one of my favorite snacks, so I figured why not make it myself? The only hard part is tempering the chocolate. (Unfortunately, I discovered you cannot just melt chocolate and dip almonds in it, though I am sure that would taste delicious too. I am not going to describe how to temper chocolate on my blog because I am far from a pro).

What You’ll Need

16 ounces tempered semisweet chocolate chips

3 cups toast almonds (put almonds in a frying pan under low heat and toast for 3 minutes)

Directions
1) In a medium bowl, pour 1/2 of tempered chocolate over almonds and stir until well combined. Add remaining half of the chocolate and stir until almonds are completely coated with chocolate.
2) Pour chocolate and almond mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3) Refrigerate for 3 hours (or until hardened).
4) Once hardened,using your hand or a knife, break the chocolate almond bark into smaller pieces.
5) Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Enjoy!
