  4. Then chop the toasted almonds so that there are small pieces to coat the chocolates in them.
  5. Once done we take the chocolates to the fridge so that they harden while we prepare the bath.
  6. For that, we melt the chocolate with the oil in the microwave at intervals of 20-30 seconds so that it does not burn.
