I first tried chocolate covered almond clusters when I bought some out of curiosity at a local grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the combination of chocolate and almonds was, with that perfect crunch and sweetness.

You are going to love this simple recipe too - packed with delicious flavors, and the perfect combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy. These little bites of heaven are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without feeling guilty. They are the perfect ‘to die for’ no bake treat.

I got the idea for these after seeing the nut and chocolate clusters going viral on TikTok. I love how amazing new food trends are being created on internet websites like TikTok and some of them go viral and get loads of attention.

This recipe is one of them, making a huge buzz. I have tried a few of these viral TikTok recipes recently and they do not disappoint. Its not every day that a food trend exceeds my expectations, but this one is definitely a winner.

When I made these for my family they could not get enough of them. The first tray was gone in minutes and I was right back in the kitchen making more. The best part is I didn’t mind because these almond clusters are so easy to make.

The coolest thing about these clusters is that you can mix and match any fruit with any chocolate. You can try the original idea and go for strawberries and dark chocolate or maybe try raspberries and milk chocolate or even blueberries.

The options are endless with these fruit clusters and I’m sure they are all just as delicious as the next. A healthy dessert option that your whole family will love!

Servings 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds, unsalted, roasted
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• 1/3-1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste

Instructions

• If you need to toast your almonds, preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat. Spread almonds out in a single layer and toast for 10-12 minutes, stirring once during that time. Set aside.

  Line a small or medium baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.

  Melt the chocolate - Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50%power with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Fold almonds and cranberries into the chocolate, making sure to coat each one. Using a spoon, scoop and drop piles of chocolate-covered almonds to create clusters onto the baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. (Spoonful can be as large or small as you’d like. My clusters had about 8-10 almonds each in them.)

  Sprinkle with a little sea salt then allow chocolate to completely set.

  Chill in the refrigerator, for 15-25 minutes.

  Store chocolate covered almonds in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
