What ingredients do you need to make vegan chocolate covered almond clusters?

You only need two ingredients for this recipe. I’m sure by the title you can guess them, right?

• vegan chocolate
• almonds
• salt flakes, optional

That’s it. Literally.  You are well on your way to something delicious with just those two things. 

Full amounts listed in printable recipe card below.

Can these be flavored?

In most parts of the world, flavored vegan chocolate still isn’t a thing.  However, you could get totally creative here.  

When melting your chocolate add a few drops of an extract to flavor the chocolate.  Maybe you do orange or mint, maybe rum or raspberry. 

Whatever you decide, you could get really creative.  

Since the recipe doesn’t make a ton at a time, you literally just need a few drops.  Before adding the almond to the chocolate, just give a taste and adjust until you have the flavor you want. 

How do you make vegan chocolate covered almond clusters?

First you start by melting your chocolate.  You can use either a microwave to melt or a double broiler method. 

Once your chocolate is melted, add in the almonds and stir until everything is coated well.

Then, drop spoonfuls onto a wax lined baking sheet until no almonds remain.

Place in the fridge or freezer until hardened, about 30 minutes in the fridge, less in the freezer.

Once hardened store in an air tight container. Lasts 1-2 weeks. 

Can I use other nuts?

Absolutely!  Feel free to use cashews or peanuts, or anything else that you may want to swap. 

Can I prep these ahead of time?

Yes!  These should be stored in an air tight container. They can be stored in either the fridge or the counter. They will last at least a week, sometimes longer. 

Can I make these Top 8 Allergen Free?

We always included this question is our post.  We are using Enjoy Life chocolate so it’s Top 8 Allergen Free already.

Obviously, we are using almonds, so there is an allergen. 

However, we hope that this inspires you to do chocolate covered something else.  We already are in works for more allergen free ideas.
