Rich, snappy dark chocolate meets the satisfying crunch of whole almonds in this deceptively simple treat that tastes like something you'd find in a specialty candy shop. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required — just three clean components that do all the heavy lifting. The double-boiler method keeps the chocolate silky and tempered, coating each almond in a glossy, even shell that sets beautifully at room temperature. A pinch of flaky sea salt scattered on top right before the chocolate firms up is the detail that takes these from good to genuinely hard to stop eating. They're elegant enough to box up as a gift but easy enough to throw together on a weeknight when a chocolate craving hits hard. Store-bought chocolate-covered almonds often come with vague "processed in a facility" warnings that make snacking stressful — making your own means you control exactly what goes in.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it near your work area.
Fill a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth, about 3–4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat.
