Description
This is one of the easiest desserts to pull together, and it’s always a hit. Just good dark chocolate, almonds, and a bit of flaky salt if you want it. No candy thermometer, no tempering—just melt, pour, freeze, and break. It’s perfect for gifting, snacking, or keeping in the freezer for a little something sweet.
