Matcha and chocolate are a very popular flavor combination. If you have never tried matcha green tea powder, it has a bit of an earthy flavor. This earthy flavor profile of matcha paired with a dark chocolate makes these almonds truly stand out as a flavor bomb.

📖 Recipe
Matcha Chocolate Covered Almonds Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds, raw
- 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet (Dairy-Free)
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
Instructions
- Melt chocolate either in the microwave in 30 second intervals or a double boiler on the stove top. If melting in the microwave, stir in between each 30 second session. Continuously stir if melting in the double boiler.
- Lightly toast your almonds in the oven for a few minutes. This step is optional, but it does enhance the flavor of the nuts.
- Next, using two forks, gently coat each almond with the melted chocolate. Using the two fork method, lift the almonds out of chocolate and drip off the excess.
- Place each almond on a parchment lined cooking sheet or baking dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets up and hardens.
- Remove from fridge and transfer the almonds to a glass jar with a lid. Add in matcha powder to the glass jar. Shake and toss the almonds around to coat the chocolate covered almonds with the matcha powder. Enjoy.
