Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Toast the almonds in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
3. Allow them to cool completely, and then chop them coarsely.
4. Break up the chocolate and melt it in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
5. Make sure that the bowl you melt in the chocolate in is completely dry; if there's even a drop of water, the chocolate will"seize"- become stiff and granular- and it will be unusable.
6. Once the chocolate has melted, take the bowl off the heat and stir in the chopped nuts, completely coating them with chocolate.
7. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or plastic wrap.
8. Scoop out heaping teaspoons of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the sheet pan.
9. When done, refrigerate until ready to eat.
10. Makes 20-30 candies.
