To make almond butter, place 1 cup of almonds in a mini food processor. Process, scraping sides occasionally until the butter is the consistency of natural peanut butter.
Add chocolate chips to mixture and stir again, just until combined. Using your hands, press FIRMLY to form one-inch balls.
Sliced or slivered almonds process much more quickly than whole almonds. We've also found that whole, dry roasted almonds process more quickly than whole.
