Saute almonds in a pan, stirring regularly for around 15 minutes. You could spray it lightly with a pan spray though its completely optional. Take them out on a kitchen towel, once done so they absorb excess oil, if any.
Now we need to melt the chocolate chips. Three ways of doing it:
A] Take a double boiler
B] You could melt them in a microwave too and run the chips for 1 minute at a time till they completely melt.
C] You could take a pan with water . Take another pan with chocolate chips. Place the pan with chocolate chips in water. The chocolate will melt while the water boils.
Once the chocolate chips melt, add the sugar, shortening and the cream.
Whip everything well.
Add the almonds. You can chop the almonds too if you wish to.
Spread the chocolate on a parchment paper or in the molds and place it in the freezer for 30 mins.
If you have it on the parchment paper, you can cut the chocolate to your desired shape.
