Christmas break is over, the kids are back in school, and I’m (slightly reluctantly) back at work. It was the most awesome vacation, riddled with many movies, lazy days, and some much-needed rest. I hope you enjoyed some time with your family and were able to get in some restful days before returning back to work as well. I think we all need that from time to time.

I’m excited to be back today, sharing these delicious dark chocolate toffee almond clusters with you. Just before I went on vacation, I shared these Rocky Road Clusters with you that instantly became a huge hit. Not just with you guys though, my boys INHALED them and friends and family that stopped by gobbled up a double batch in no time.

I immediately started thinking about new combinations of flavors for clusters and with January on the horizon (and now here!), I knew many of you would be looking for slightly less indulgent treats that still taste totally decadent.

These Dark Chocolate Toffee Almond Clusters are what you’re looking for.

Just 5 minutes and 5 ingredients for a delicious candy that no one will be able to resist! Heart healthy almonds and sweet toffee bits are coated with anti-oxidant rich dark chocolate resulting in an incredibly satisfying better-for-you sweet treat that everyone will enjoy!

I served these up for our New Year’s Eve party but they would make the most excellent snack for any occasion including football parties, potlucks, and movie night. Instead of using the vegetable oil that I used in the rocky road clusters, I opted for coconut oil, giving these clusters an even bigger nutritional advantage.

In addition to the coconut oil, I used heart-healthy Blue Diamond almonds, opting for their low sodium, lightly salted almonds. Good call. The small amount of salt is the perfect counterbalance to the deep, rich chocolate flavor.

You’ll notice a small amount of butterscotch chips in the ingredients list. I love the flavor produced when chocolate and butterscotch are combined and the butterscotch chips really play well with the crunchy and buttery toffee chips that are present throughout the clusters.

All in all, a total home run. I love that these clusters are a sweet snack that I can enjoy immensely and feel good about at the same time.

    Have made this recipe twice with excellent results both times. Is there an added step or ingredient to prevent the chocolate from being somewhat messybor melty in one’s hands? This is not a complaint, more wanting to improve the outcome.

    Yummy! I’ve been meaning to make those for a while now, actually. (The great thing is you can make your own toffee bits, too, with butter and sugar!) Those would be a great snack for kids!
