Chocolate Almond Stars

July 24, 2012 by Daily Dose of Fresh

70% dark chocolate and raw almonds, both extremely good for you!

Your 70 % dark chocolate is off course not your kiddies chocolate loaded with sugar and milk, rather think of it as a natural anti-depressant full of anti oxidants.

So why not combine the two for a delicious little super snack.

I had some left over dark chocolate (I KNOW! who’s got left over chocolate in their pantry, right???)Well these things happens in my house since my husband is a diabetic and I would rather sell my soul for something salty…thinking salty cracks, yum!

I basically used left overs so off course I didn’t really bother to measure anything. So please use the quantities below with the knowledge that you might actually have left overs! lol.

Promise next time I make a batch I will write it down and amend my recipe!

+- 150 g 70 % dark chocolate

+- 100 g raw almonds

Cooking spray

Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it in a double boiler. In the meantime spray a cookie sheet with Cooking spray. Use four nuts placing them in a star shape. It works best if you place all the top points facing each other. This requires a little patience, so be patient!

Drizzle a teaspoon of the melted chocolate over each star. Set in the fridge for 10 minutes and transfer to an air tight container.

No go on, have one or two or three…don’t have more than 3 if you are on a diet!
