Homemade Dark Chocolate Almond Butter combines roasted almonds with dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and vanilla. A healthier chocolate spread that's perfect on toast, graham crackers, as an apple dipper, or eaten by the spoonful!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet, and roast for 10 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly browned.
Remove from oven, and pour almonds in a food processor. Process until creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, add olive oil to dark chocolate chips, and melt in microwave until creamy. Be careful to avoid burning by heating in 30 second increments and stirring in between.
Add chocolate to food processor, along with the cocoa powder, vanilla, and espresso powder (optional). Process again, until extremely creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour chocolate almond butter into a 12 oz. jar, or other container. Let cool completely before placing lid on top.
