Sweet, crunchy, covered in coffee and chocolate, these Mocha Chip Almonds make a delicious and healthy sweet treat. Made with only three ingredients!
Friends, I have a delicious little snack for you today! Mocha Chip Almonds! Coffee Chocolate Covered Almonds. Mocha covered almonds. Whatever you want to call them.
They're like chocolate covered almonds, but better. Because coffee. Everything is always better with coffee. Can you tell I love coffee?
They key to the mocha chip flavor is espresso powder. Get yourself a quality espresso powder and keep it in your freezer for unplanned espresso needs. That's what I do. And look what happened: Mocha Chip Almonds.
These Mocha Chip Almonds are very easy to make. You can easily whip these up and be devouring them in 15 minutes.
Step 1. Microwave the chocolate on half power in 30 second increments. Stir between increments to avoid overheating the chocolate.
You could be all fancy and make a double boiler, but honestly the microwave works just fine.
Step 2. While the chocolate is still warm, mix in the espresso powder and stir well.
Step 3. Using a spoon, dip the almonds into the chocolate. You can dip them one at a time or all together, depending on how pretty you want the almonds to turn out.
Step 4. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper to cool. Allow them to set – you can speed up this process by putting them in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy!
These Mocha Covered Almonds are covered in chocolate! Make sure you store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
The last thing you want is for the chocolate to melt everywhere!
You could also store these almonds in the freezer. Just let them thaw a few minutes before you eat them so you don't break your teeth!!
Since we didn't add any oil, the chocolate isn't shiny.
I follow a mostly oil-free diet and avoid adding it when it isn't necessary.
The almonds don't need oil to taste good, but if you want a shiny look stir in 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil when you microwave the chocolate.
As long as you keep them in a cool, dry place, these almonds should last for several months.
Yes! Chocolate covered peanuts would be delicious!
If you want more coffee flavor, add more espresso powder. Another tablespoon or two should do.
Make sure you stir in the espresso powder when the chocolate is still very warm, to avoid a gritty texture.
Jesus, thank you for chocolate. We know that you give us these delicious foods for our enjoyment. You are so good. Amen.
