Dark Chocolate Candied Almond Crunch with Liberté Méditerranée Coconut Yogurt

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • dash of nutmeg ground
  • 1/2 t. sea salt
  • 2 c. almonds sliced
  • 1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips I used Ghirardelli brand
  • 1/4 c. cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Whip together the egg whites, sugar, nutmeg and salt with a whisk. Fold in the almonds.
  • Spread evenly over the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the almond mixture every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
  • Remove from oven and allow the mixture to cool for a couple of minutes. Then transfer the almonds to a large glass bowl, stirring well to break up any large clumps.
  • Melt chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. Begin with one minute. Stir. Then microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring well in between each, until chocolate is just melted.
  • Pour melted chocolate over the almond mixture and stir until very well coated.
  • Allow mixture to cool completely, stirring occasionally to thoroughly coat the almonds. Sift the cocoa powder over the chocolate-coated almonds and toss or stir to combine.
  • Serve the crunch atop Liberté Méditerranée Coconut Yogurt with fresh, pitted cherries or fresh raspberries. Makes enough crunch for 6 - 8 individual containers of yogurt, depending on how decadent you'd like to be!
