Ingredients

1 bag (12 oz) vegan semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chocolate almond milk
1/4 cup almond butter
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped

Directions

1

Place chocolate chips in stainless steel bowl over saucepan of simmering water (or use double boiler) about 2 inches deep. Stir chocolate while melting until smooth.
2

In 1-quart saucepan, heat almond milk until warm and beginning to steam. Stir warm milk into melted chocolate until smooth. Stir in almond butter, vanilla and salt. Cool to room temperature; cover with plastic wrap. Place in freezer 1 hour.
3

Meanwhile, place almonds in small bowl. Shape chilled chocolate mixture into 3/4-inch balls; roll in almonds. Place on cooking parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze about 1 hour or until firm. Store tightly covered in freezer until serving time.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Look for vegan chocolate chips in the health food section of your grocery store. They may also be labeled as dairy and gluten free.
tip 2
To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until almonds begin to brown, then stirring constantly until almonds are light brown.
tip 3
Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
