Chocolate Almond Bark

Note: this recipe has, like 2 ingredients, which means they really gotta count! Use high quality chocolate – my favorite is Guittard semisweet. 

Ingredients:

2 C. sliced Almonds

1 bag (12 – 16 oz) Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

Prep two cookie sheets with wax paper or parchment. This little step means you don’t have to do as many dishes.

Heck yes!

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the almonds on one of the cookie sheets and toast for 15 minutes.

But keep an eye on them! These babies will go from toasted to burned faster than you think! You know they are ready when you start to smell them.

Kind of like the kid’s laundry.

Melt the chocolate chips in a double broiler or the microwave, whichever floats your boat, and mix with the almonds.

Spread the mixture out on the other cookie sheet with a spatula. (From Spatula City – who’s still with me?)

Refrigerate for an hour then break up and devour. Believe me, you’ll want to!
