If you knew just how easy it is to make chocolate-covered almonds, then you'd always make your own. You can adjust the sugar and cocoa content to suit your preferences. And you can even add a little chilli, salt or vanilla to the recipe. Just whatever takes your fancy. Chocolate almonds are a real crowd pleaser and make a wonderful gift.

Ingredients

for 400 g

120 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
200 g almonds
60 g cocoa powder
20 g icing sugar

How it's done

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie; the bowl must not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Add the almonds, mix until all of the almonds are covered in chocolate. Mix the cocoa and icing sugar. Transfer the chocolate almonds to an airtight container in batches while still soft, add a little cocoa/icing sugar. Seal and shake the container until all of the almonds are dusted in the cocoa/icing sugar. Spread the almonds onto a sheet of baking paper, leave to cool and dry.
