Instructions

Line an 8×8″ baking dish with foil or parchment paper and set aside.

Fill a sauté pan with 2 inches of water and heat over medium heat until simmering, then turn the heat down to low.

Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl and place the bowl in the simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add the marshmallows and chopped nuts, then stir until well coated with the chocolate.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow to set uncovered in the fridge or room temperature for 1-2 hours. Once set, cut into bars and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Temper Your Chocolate 🍫
Melt chocolate to 115-120°F, cool to 80°F, then reheat to 88-90°F for a glossy finish and satisfying snap when the candy sets.
Toast Almonds Fresh 🌰
Lightly toast your almonds at 350°F for 8-10 minutes before chopping to intensify their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy in the chocolate.
Coconut Oil Ratio Balance ⚖️
Use 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per 8 ounces of chocolate to achieve the ideal consistency for coating without making the candy greasy or preventing proper setting.
Fold Marshmallows Last ✨
Add marshmallows to the slightly cooled chocolate (around 95°F) just before pouring to prevent them from melting while keeping them fluffy and intact throughout.
Sea Salt Layer Strategy 🧂
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the wet chocolate surface immediately after pouring, then add a final pinch after setting to enhance the salt crystals' texture and flavor impact.
