Cut into squares or bars of your desired size and serve. (5 minutes)
Toast the almonds before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
Use a high-quality chocolate frosting for the best flavor. Alternatively, you can make your own homemade chocolate frosting.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
Store the candy bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
