Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Enjoy as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee. For a fancier version, melt the dark chocolate, dip the almonds, and set on parchment paper to harden into chocolate-covered almonds.

How to Store

Store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Keep dark chocolate sealed and away from heat. Pre-portioned snack bags make grab-and-go easy.
