Ingredients
-
4 c raw almonds
1/3c chopped dark chocolate chips [or white chocolate]
2T maple syrup
1/2t fine grain sea salt
1t vanilla
1/4t almond extract [optional]
1/2 c chopped cherries
You may have to do this in two batches. I did!
Directions
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.
Store in a sealed container in a dry/dark place, or in the fridge.
Makes a little over 2.75 cups!
Serving Size: 44 - 1 Tbsp servings
