Chocolate Almond Butter

Problem:


Almonds and chocolate chips packed along as trail mix, on a hike to Amicalola Falls. It promptly melted in the heat. It was an optimistic fall hike. 

Solution:


Dump the whole thing in my food processor, and whirl away until it became Chocolate Almond Butter. And you thought we were fancy.

Chocolate Almond Butter

2 cups almonds
1/4 cup chocolate chips- can use cocoa powder
Canola oil
Salt

1. Ideally, roast the almonds. Then dump in a food processor with chocolate chips or cocoa powder.

2. Process- it will go from small gravel to powder to paste- keep going. Add a bit of canola oil to ease the process. It also helps to keep it spreadable.

3. Eat with pears, apples, fruits; spread on toast, use like regular almond butter.
