Serves: 1 Bar of turrón (For 6-8 people)
Ingredients
  • 130g (1 cup) Raw organic almonds (leave their skin on)
  • 200g (1 ¼ cup) Organic dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped into small pieces
  • 40ml (6 tablespoons) Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Instructions
  1. Add the raw almonds evenly to an oven pan and roast them at 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and place the roasted almonds evenly in a small rectangular container lined with nonstick baking paper.
  2. Place the chopped dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan add 1 cup water, bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Sit the heatproof bowl containing the chocolate over the saucepan of barely simmering water and do a “bain marie” allowing the chocolate to melt stirring until it is totally melted.
  3. Once the chocolate is totally melted add the EVOO and stir until both are perfectly combined.
  4. Then pour the mix of melted dark chocolate and EVOO over the roasted almonds allowing it to cover well all the almonds.
  5. Allow it to cool down for at least 4 hours in a cool place of the house.
