- 1/4 teaspoon canola oil

Microwave chocolate in uncovered, microwave-safe glass bowl on HIGH power for 1 minute. Stir. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15 second intervals, stirring just until smooth. Stir in one-fourth cup of the toasted almonds.
-
Pour onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper or waxed paper. Sprinkle with remaining one-fourth cup toasted almonds. Tap pan several times to spread chocolate and settle almonds.
