3. Ensure that the melted chocolate is smooth and has no lumps.
4. Place almonds in the moulds tray and pour melted chocolate into each mould.
5. Tap the tray a few times after filling it to remove air bubbles.
6. Next, freeze the chocolates for five minutes by placing the moulds in the cold storage.
7. Shift them to the refrigerator for another five minutes.
8. Then, remove the chocolates from the moulds by inverting the tray over a plate.
