These toasted almonds are coated in milk chocolate and then dusted in cinnamon. They make a wonderful snack that you will be asked to make over and over again. For the absolute best outcome, be sure to use the best quality ingredients available.
1 c. almonds
1 c. milk chocolate chips
1/4 c. cocoa powder
2 T. cinnamon
1 t. salt
In a dry saucepan, toast almonds on medium heat until they give off a nutty aroma, 4-5 minutes, turning periodically; remove from pan; allow to cool completely.
In a double boiler, heat chocolate until melted; add almonds; coat completely.
In a large Tupperware-like container with a lid, or a ziplock bag, add remaining ingredients; add in almonds and all of their chocolate, shaking vigorously until coated completely with cinnamon mixture.
Lay individual almonds onto a platter or cookie sheet; allow to set.
Tip: Use the remaining/left behind chocolate/cinnamon mixture as a base for hot chocolate, if desired.
