Sea Salt Chocolate Almond Clusters are perfect for the holidays or anytime you crave chocolate. You only need three ingredients to make these delicious clusters.
During the holidays, I like to keep the ingredients on hand to make easy chocolate candy like these almond clusters or 2-Ingredient German Chocolate Fudge.
Ingredients For Chocolate Almond Clusters (Find the full recipe card at the end of this post)
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (12 ounces)
- Salted or Unsalted Almonds
- Coarse Sea Salt
You’ll need the following items to make this delicious candy!
- Parchment Paper
- Large Baking Sheet
- 1-Inch Cookie Scoop
- Medium Mixing Bowl
Directions For Making Sea Salt Almond Clusters
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and microwave for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir. Microwave until the mixture is smooth and creamy when stirred.
Fold the almonds into the melted chocolate until they’re fully coated.
Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, fill the scoop until perfectly full and place on the prepared baking pan. Repeat until all the mixture has been used.
Immediately sprinkle each cluster with a bit of sea salt. Place the clusters in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or until set.
Tips For Making Sea Salt Almond Clusters
If you leave the clusters at room temperature to harden, make sure the room is cool. If not, they will remain tacky. You can also use the freezer if you’re in a hurry.
You can swap out the almonds for another favorite nut. Pecans are a great substitute.
I used unsalted almonds because the sea salt adds enough saltiness for me. However, if you like things a touch saltier, use salted almonds.
You can also make bigger clusters if preferred. For me, the 1-inch cookie scoop is the perfect size for these candies. The amount of clusters this recipe makes depends on the size of your cookie scoop.
How To Store Chocolate Almond Clusters
These will keep in an airtight container in a cool area for about a week. You can store them in the refrigerator for a month, in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2-3 months when stored in the same manner in the freezer.
