Do you like chocolate covered pretzels? Or have you discovered chocolate covered potato chips? If you’re a fan of the sweet and salty combination like I am, these babies will be right up your alley. Honestly, I can’t take full credit for this find–I had them for the first time at a friend’s house and instantly fell in love. I love chocolate covered almonds anyway, but these go to another level with the first hit of salt and then the second sweetness after. Since dark chocolate is used, the almonds are not overly sweet, and perfect for munching while sitting with friends or to satisfy those sweet cravings that always seem to hit after dinner!
