Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of your favorite nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, or pecans)
  • 12 oz (about 340g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: sea salt, flaky for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Nuts:

  • Toast the nuts if preferred for extra flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until fragrant.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stove to melt the chocolate.

3. Combine Nuts and Chocolate:

  • Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and stir until they are fully coated.

4. Shape the Clusters:

  • Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate and nut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop for consistent sizes.

5. Cool the Clusters:

  • Let the clusters cool at room temperature until set, or refrigerate them to speed up the setting process.

6. Optional Finishing Touch:

  • Sprinkle a little sea salt on the clusters before they set to enhance the flavor contrast.

These chocolate nut clusters are not only delicious but also versatile, as you can use different types of nuts or even mix in dried fruits for added texture and flavor. Enjoy making and indulging in these sweet treats!
