These chocolate covered almonds taste crunchy, chocolaty and caramelized. They are perfect for the Christmas season. You can eat them yourself or give them as a gift. You can find a detailed chocolate covered almonds recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Candied almonds with chocolate
This recipe combines candied almonds and chocolate. You’ll get the most delicious chocolate covered almonds you’ve ever tasted. They taste so crunchy, have a slight hint of caramel and are very aromatic.
It’s worth stirring
You will need a little patience and diligence for the chocolate covered almonds recipe. Add the melted chocolate to the candied almonds in small portions and stir until the chocolate sets and the almonds no longer stick together. Repeat this process about 15 times.
This way, the almonds are gradually coated evenly with chocolate. The effort is worth it.
In the end, you will have almonds with chocolate that look almost indistinguishable from the ones you buy. They taste much more delicious than those from the supermarket or Christmas market anyway. The same applies to the homemade marzipan potatoes and cinnamon stars.
White, milk or dark chocolate
I have used dark chocolate in my recipe. Alternatively, you can also coat the almonds with white chocolate or milk chocolate.
If you want your chocolate covered almonds to be vegan, then only use vegan chocolate.
It is important that you use good quality chocolate, just like for the zucchini brownies or the vegan chocolate mousse. This is because the taste of the sweet snack depends heavily on it.
Rolling chocolate covered almonds
I rolled my almonds with chocolate in unsweetened cocoa powder. It gives them even more chocolate flavor and makes them look perfect.
Alternatively, you can roll them in cinnamon. This makes them taste even more Christmassy.
Matcha powder is also suitable for rolling the chocolate covered almonds. This gives them a pretty green color.
Or simply roll them in powdered sugar in the classic way, like the apple zefir. This turns them white and makes them taste sweeter.
Sweet Christmas gift from the kitchen
The homemade almonds with chocolate are a lovely Christmas gift from the kitchen, just like the Bird’s milk sweets, chocolate peanut clusters or Dominosteine. Coat them in white and dark chocolate and roll them in cocoa, cinnamon, matcha, powdered sugar. This is a tasty and visually colorful, sweet gift for your loved ones.

Chocolate covered almonds
Ingredients
- 200 g chocolate vegan
- 150 g almonds raw
- 60 g sugar
- 30 ml water
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Put sugar, salt and water in a non-stick pan and heat over a medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture just begins to boil.
- Add almonds to the sugar mixture and heat over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and a dry crust forms to coat the almonds.
- Continue to heat the almonds, stirring, until the sugar caramelizes and the dark brown caramel coats each almond.
- Place the hot almonds on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, separate them as much as possible with a wooden spoon or a fork and leave them to cool slightly.
- Then use your hands to separate each almond from the others and leave the candied almonds to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate over a water bath.
- Place the candied almonds in a large glass mixing bowl.
- Add 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate to the almonds and stir with a silicone spatula until the chocolate sets, coats each almond and the almonds no longer stick together (it took me about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to the almonds and stir again until the chocolate sets (this is a little quicker than the first time). Repeat the process about 13 more times or until the chocolate is used up.
- Add cocoa powder to the almonds and stir until the chocolate almonds are coated in cocoa powder.
Notes
- I have used dark chocolate. White or milk chocolate is also suitable.
- Use good quality chocolate.
