Homemade chocolate covered almonds are coated in crystallized sugar, dark chocolate and a dusting of cocoa powder. Crunchy and so good!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring as needed, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and cook until syrup reaches 230°F, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add almonds and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until sugar crystallizes and becomes powdery, 2- 3 minutes.
Return pan to medium heat and cook the almonds, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and caramelizes and nuts are toasted, about 10 minutes.
Add butter and a pinch of salt; stir until butter is fully melted and nuts are coated. Pour almonds onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly but carefully spread them out into individual nuts. Let cool to room temperature.
Place nuts on a large plate and chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and pour 2 oz (1/4 cup) tempered chocolate over the nuts and stir vigorously until each nut is coated and separate from the bunch, and the chocolate is set, 2- 3 minutes. Return to plate and chill for another few minutes.
Repeat coating with 1/4 cup tempered chocolate, vigorously stirring, and letting the chocolate set. After the third and final coat has set, add cocoa powder and stir until fully coated. Transfer nuts to a sieve and toss to shake off excess cocoa powder.
