White chocolate almonds are a delightful treat that combines the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the satisfying crunch of almonds. This simple recipe requires only three ingredients and a few quick steps to create a delicious snack or dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the almonds from sticking as they cool.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and vegetable oil.
- Microwave the mixture in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should only take about 1-2 minutes in total.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove. To do this, place the white chocolate and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Once the white chocolate is fully melted, remove it from the microwave or double boiler.
- Add the almonds to the bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the melted white chocolate.
- Using a spoon or a spatula, transfer the coated almonds to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread them out into a single layer, ensuring that they are not clumped together. This will help them cool and harden evenly.
- Allow the almonds to cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or until the white chocolate has fully hardened.
- For faster cooling, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
- Once the white chocolate has hardened, gently break apart any clumps to separate the almonds.
- Transfer the white chocolate almonds to an airtight container.
- Store them in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks. For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator.
- These white chocolate almonds make a delightful treat for snacking or as a sweet addition to a dessert table.
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the almonds lightly before coating them in white chocolate for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate, ensuring it melts evenly and doesn't burn.
- Add a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate to enhance the overall flavor.
- Allow the coated almonds to cool completely before serving to ensure the chocolate sets properly.
- Store the white chocolate almonds in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
