Add everything to a 3-quart or larger crockpot. Stir. Set crockpot to LOW and cover (DO NOT SET TO HIGH). This will take only 30 minutes, BUT set a timer for every 10 minutes to stir.
After the chocolate has melted and is smooth, scoop the chocolate and almonds out onto sheets of wax paper that are on cookie trays (I use a small ice-cream scoop). Sprinkle with the sea salt. I did just enough to decorate the cookies and give a salty contrast to the sweet chocolate.
Place the trays in the fridge so the clusters set up.
Makes about 18 clusters
