Ingredients
4 c raw almonds1/3c chopped dark chocolate chips [or white chocolate]2T maple syrup1/2t fine grain sea salt1t vanilla1/4t almond extract [optional]1/2 c chopped cherriesYou may have to do this in two batches. I did!
Preheat oven to 300*
On a parchment lined pan, spread almonds in a single layer.
Coat almonds in maple syrup and bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Let almonds cool for about 10min.
While cooling – In your food processor chop the chocolate and empty into a bowl.
Repeat with cherries and empty into a bowl.
Add almonds and process, scraping bowl as needed, until smooth + buttery. This took about 6-8min
After butterized, add in salt, and extracts.
Process again until smooth.
Empty into a bowl and let cool for 30min-1hr. *You want it fully cool so the chocolate doesn’t melt when you stir it in.
Once cooled, stir in cherries + chocolate.
