Dark Chocolate Almond Turtle Clusters

A healthy holiday dessert that the entire family will love!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings - 40 clusters

Ingredients 

  • 16 oz. bag lightly salted almonds
  • 11 oz. bag caramel bits
  • 2 - 12 oz. bags dark chocolate morsels
  • sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the almonds with the caramel bits.
  • In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate morsels. (To create a double boiler, you can use 2 nesting pans, or you can place a glass bowl over a stovetop pot with water underneath. Boil the water and let the chocolate melt.)
  • Once the chocolate has melted, toss with the almonds and caramel bits in the mixing bowl and cover well.
  • With a regular spoon, scoop the clusters and place on the lined baking sheet. Lightly flatten with the back of the spoon, so that they will be easy to bite into after they cool.
  • Let cool for 2 hours on the countertop, or 1 hour in the fridge.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • If you plan to make them for holiday gifts, you can freeze them once they have cooled.
