Notes
To blanch raw almonds, put them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add some cold water so that you can handle the almonds. Pinch the almonds between your fingers until the skins slide off.
Watch the almonds closely while you are roasting them in the microwave. They burn easily.
Be careful when you melt chocolate in the microwave so that it does not burn. Check and stir after each 30 seconds or so.
White almond bark can be stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week. Or kept in the freezer for up to a month.
