Instructions
- 1 Place dark chocolate chips, butter, and maple syrup in a heat-safe bowl set over a saucepan with about 1 inch hot water over lowest heat setting until melted; do not stir.
- 2 Meanwhile, line an 8x8-inch baking pan with plastic wrap.
- 3 Slowly stir melted chocolate mixture with a spatula until shiny and smooth. Off heat, stir in marshmallows and almonds until combined.
- 4 Quickly transfer mixture to the prepared pan until evenly distributed. Do not smooth or press down the top; try to preserve a rough texture. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm and well chilled, about 2 hours.
- 5 Sift cocoa over top. Cut into 16 squares.
