Almond Clusters with Black Sea Salt

By Lynda · Dec 26, 2019 · This post may contain affiliate links.

Almond Clusters with Black Sea Salt are made using only 3 items – almond bark, almonds, and black sea salt. Easy + Delicious = winning combination!

I once pulled raw almonds and chocolate chips out of my pantry with the intention of making chocolate almond clusters.  Since I had a lot to do, I just left them on my kitchen counter.

Later that evening, my husband decided that he would make some peanut butter crackers covered in almond bark.  I helped him make them and we had some melted almond bark left over.  He looked around the kitchen and noticed the almonds and said that he wondered what the almonds would taste like, covered in the bark.  

Though I had not thought of using the white candy bark, I thought it would be worth a try.  I threw some almonds in the oven and toasted them and then we coated them in the almond bark.  After they cooled we tried them and they were a hit.

Today I took them a step further and sprinkled them with black sea salt.  That one simple ingredient really makes a difference.

I baked them at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

I took half of a package of almond bark and broke it in half.  Then I microwaved it until the bark was smooth and creamy.

I sprinkled the sea salt on top and allowed the almond bark to firm.  (It took about 30 minutes in my house.  The time can vary, depending on the temperature and moisture inside.)
