Ingredients
- 1 Cup Unsalted Roasted Almonds
- 1-2 Chocolate Bar(s) white, milk or dark is fine! your choice as long as it melts easily :)
- 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
- 1/4 Cup Crushed Candy Canes or as much as you'd like <3
Instructions
- In a glass bowl, break apart your chocolate bar and microwave until fully melted. I generally heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until all the chocolate is fully melted.
- Prepare your baking tray and line it with parchment paper! Make sure there is room in your fridge or freezer for them to harden.
- Next, add your almonds into your melted chocolate, then use a fork to scoop either small clusters of them or each one up. Let the excess chocolate drip before placing them onto your parchment paper-lined baking tray.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your crushed candy canes on top.
- Once all the almonds have been dipped, placed on the parchment paper and have crushed candy canes on top, place in the fridge for 4 hours!
- When the chocolate has completely hardened, enjoy! Happy eating!
