- Dip almonds into dark chocolate using a fork and lightly tap to remove excess chocolate; transfer to parchment paper until chocolate hardens.

Notes
Dark Chocolate Almond Footballs should be stored in an airtight container and will keep for up to 1 month.
Optional: Paramount crystals help keep chocolate shiny and smooth, as well as alleviate sugar bloom and fat bloom. You do not need them, but they are recommended.
