Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp. honey (or agave syrup if vegan)
  • 1 tsp. fine sea salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (177° C).
  • Spread almonds out evenly on a baking tray and bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and shake pan lightly to make sure they get roasted evenly. Put pan back in oven and roast for 5-6 more minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let almonds cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes. Place almonds into a medium sized bowl and toss with honey.
  • Add cocoa powder and sea salt to almonds and toss to coat evenly.
  • Dump the almonds back out onto the baking sheet and spread out to cool (this prevents them from sticking together or having plain spots without cocoa powder).
  • Once fully cool, store in an airtight container or jar for up to a week.
