Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g bittersweet chocolate chopped into small pieces
  • 50 g roasted almonds roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt optional, enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Mini muffin tin or silicone mold
  • Hot plate or microwave
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl.
  2. Gently melt the chocolate using a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate, stirring until well combined.
  4. Fold in the cocoa powder to deepen the chocolate flavor and create a rich, even color.
  5. Stir in the chopped roasted almonds for bursts of crunch in each bite.
  6. Spoon the mixture into a mini muffin tin or silicone mold, filling each cavity almost to the top for a compact, bite-sized shape.
  7. Chill the mini bites in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until set and firm.
  8. Once chilled, gently pop the bites out of the mold—expect a shiny, slightly crackled surface with a dense, fudgy interior.
  9. Arrange the chocolate almond bites on a serving tray and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
