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.
