No-Bake, Chocolate, Almond Clusters With Coconut and Sea Salt! And they are Gluten Free and Vegan too!

I have an auto-immune disease that has made me allergic and or sensitive to a pretty long list of foods. I'm allergic to egg whites.Yep, just the whites, but I avoid eggs altogether. I'm sensitive to processed cane sugar, and I was also diagnosed through a blood test, with Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. I get as sick from consuming gluten as a person with Celiac disease. Ugh! So, for years, I have avoided almost all deserts. I now know there are many options that are allergy-free, so it sure is fun to occasionally indulge in something sweet again!

These no-bake yummies are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy free (I also avoid soy), and vegan. (no dairy or eggs) They taste much like an Almond Joy bar! Yum! They are also delicious with other nuts and even with roasted sunflower seeds! 

With only three ingredients and a microwave, these are the easiest candies to make ever! My microwave has since died and so now I melt my chocolate chips in a double boiler - still easy!

Ingredients

• 1 Bag chocolate chips, For guaranteed gluten and dairy free, use allergy-free chips (see my favorite brand at the bottom of this post)
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
• Optional - sea salt

Directions

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. If using stove-top method, melt in a double boiler or a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water.


Stir in almonds and coconut.

Spoon approximately tablespoon-size drops onto a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cool in fridge until hard and set.

This is my favorite allergy-friendly brand of chocolate chips. 

So Yummy and Healthy too!

Enjoy!!!
