Dark Chocolate and Almond Butter Treats
Dark chocolate and almond butter are two flavors that seem to have been destined for each other. The robust earthiness of dark chocolate, with its slightly bitter notes, finds a perfect complement in the sweet, roasted undertones of almond butter. Together, they create a symphony for the taste buds – an interplay of creaminess and crunch, of sweet and savory, all in one bite.
Of course, these are absolutely perfect little stand-alone treats that you can enjoy all on their own. But if you want to really elevate your experience, serve these delicious dark chocolate and almond butter treats alongside a loaded Paleo Charcuterie Board.
Ingredients
Serves: 9 Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup almond butter
- A pinch of salt
How to Make Dark Chocolate and Almond Butter Treats
Make a double boiler with an aluminium bowl placed over a pot of boiling water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Place the chocolate in the bowl and melt it slowly, stirring constantly.
Once completely melted, paint the interior of 9 small candy molds with a small brush with the dark chocolate.
Place the molds in the freezer for about 10 minutes in order for the chocolate to harden.
In the mean time, mix the almond butter with a pinch of fine sea salt.
Remove the molds from the freezer, fill each cavity with almond butter and paint some more melted chocolate on top to close the candy. You may need to melt the chocolate again if it hardened.
Place in the freezer for another 10 minutes to harden.
Remove from the freezer and pop the treats out of their molds.
