Ingredients
- 1 cup lightly salted roasted almonds
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, melted
- Flaky salt for topping
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange almonds in clusters of 7-9 almonds 1-inch apart on sheet pan. Set aside for a moment.
- Place sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt, stirring frequently until all sugar crystals are melted. Once melted, whisk in butter and bring to a boil. Slowly add cream (carefully, it will splatter) whisking constantly and allow caramel to cook until caramel registers 245F on a candy thermometer, about 3-5 minutes. Remove caramel from heat and mix in salt.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon warm caramel sauce over each almond cluster, making sure almonds are evenly covered in caramel. Drizzle melted dark chocolate over each cluster and top with a pinch of flaky salt.
- Allow clusters to set in refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
