Paleo Chocolate Haystacks - National Chocolate Covered Anything Day

Print the Chocolate Haystacks recipe here!

I sort of laughed out loud that today is a national day for anything covered in chocolate. Who comes up with these things? But, when it comes to chocolate I’m here for it so I figured I’d take this opportunity to share one of my favorite, easiest recipes that makes a great holiday treat or gift for that matter. Rest assured that these are gobbled up quickly by everyone.

You can use any chocolate chips that you want to use, but using Enjoy Life chocolate chips allows it to be qualified as "Paleo" friendly.

Shopping List:

Slivered almonds (other nuts optional)
Enjoy Life chocolate chips
Sea Salt

Seriously. That's it.

Heat the oven to 350* F. Pour the slivered almonds onto a foil lined baking sheet. Heat them up until slightly roasted but warmed (not burned). Remove from the oven and pour them into a mixing bowl. Add in 1/2 to one full bag of Enjoy Life chocolate chips - to your preference on the amount of chocolate coating over the almonds. Stir thoroughly to allow the chocolate to melt and coat the almonds.

Using a spoon, scoop and drop spoonful's of the chocolate covered almonds onto a parchment lined baking sheet or plates. Spring sea salt over the tops of them before the chocolate begins to cool so that the salt sticks. Place the baking sheet or plates into the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden, approximately 30 minutes. You may also place in the freezer for a short amount of time.

Once the chocolate is hardened back up you may place them out to serve or wrap them up as a gift!
