How to Make Chocolate Almond Hay Stacks

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Place 1 cup of almond slivers on your work surface and cover with a damp towel.
  3. Let the almonds sit for 5 minutes to absorb moisture.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the moistened almonds and 1 cup of powdered sugar.
  6. Mix thoroughly until the almonds are evenly coated.
  7. Spread the almond mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  10. Melt 8 ounces of your favorite chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth.
  11. Cool the melted chocolate to 37°C (99°F), then let it cool further to 32°C (90°F).
  12. Add the cooled almond mixture to the melted chocolate and stir gently to combine.
  13. Using a teaspoon, portion out approximately 55 small mounds onto a cold baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
