Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans), coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Once melted, add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts and shredded coconut (if using). Stir until the nuts and coconut are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Lightly sprinkle each chocolate mound with a pinch of granulated sugar for a touch of added texture and sweetness.
Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until the dainties are firm and set.
Once set, remove from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Chocolate Nut Dainties!
