INGREDIENTS
2 cups raw almonds
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp cane sugar
2 tsp flake salt (or 1 tsp table salt)
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
PREPARATION
Place almonds in a medium bowl. Drizzle maple syrup over the almonds and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle the cane sugar and salt over the almonds and stir until evenly coated.
Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, until the almonds are roasty and the sugar is just caramelized.
Right when you remove the almonds from the oven, put them into a clean bowl and sprinkle the cocoa powder over them. Cover the bowl with a plate and shake to coat the almonds with the cocoa powder.
If any almonds aren't completely covered with the cocoa powder, give them a quick stir.
Spread the almonds over a clean sheet of parchment or on a clean baking sheet to cool.
Once cooled completely, store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
