Note

Toasting the almonds before chopping enhances their flavor and adds a better texture contrast to the soft chocolate base.

Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before adding the milk to prevent seizing. If the chocolate seizes, try adding a tiny bit more warm milk and stirring vigorously.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.

For a darker, more intense flavor, substitute dark chocolate for the milk chocolate.
