Still time for some homemade goodies before the Big Day. These little goodies makes a perfect
last-minute gift. This homemade treat has few ingredients and you make it in just a few minutes.

So What Do You Need?

100g good quality chocolate, finely chopped. I used milk chocolate for this batch, a semi-sweet dark chocolate works as well.
150-200 g almonds
3 tablespoons of cocoa (maybe some more) in a plastic bag.

And How Do You Cook It?

What Next?

Put almonds/chocolate mixture in the plastic bag with the cocoa.

Shake vigorously.

Some almonds will stick to each other. Separate them and shake some more. Sometimes you need to add some more cocoa in this step.

Empty plastic bag onto a tray. Put in fridge.

Final Touch

Put almond in a glass jar. Cut some nice paper into a circle and glue to lid. Fold paper downward with your fingers or a bone folder.

Add a label if you want.

Variations:

Use powder sugar instead of cocoa.
Use different kinds of chocolate.
Use other kind of nuts.
