These little bites of heaven I serve for appetizers on game days or during the holidays. They are absolutely Devine. You can easily adapt this recipe to make more if serving a large crowd. They have a slightly roasted flavor paired with the salt and cocoa powder makes a delicious snack.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unsalted almonds
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp pink salt
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350*.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and spread the almonds out on the pan. Bake the almonds for about 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly roasted and they have a slight golden color. Remove and allow to cool.
- Sift the cocoa powder and salt through a sieve into a bowl. Set aside.
- In a saucepan combine the maple syrup and vanilla and warm through. Do not boil. When the mixture is warmed through add the almonds and toss to coat evenly.
- When the almonds are completely coated with mixture turn off the heat and pour the almonds into the bowl with the cocoa powder and quickly toss to coat evenly. When all the almonds are coated pour back onto the cookie sheet and allow to cool.
- When the almonds are cool you can store them in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us.
I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious.
I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel.
Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place.
I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon.
Sam
