Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips (gluten-free)
- 100 grams Almonds
- 100 grams Pecans
- 50 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams Dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and melted.
While the chocolate is melting, roughly chop the almonds and pecans to your preferred size, ensuring a mix of larger and smaller pieces for texture.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Add the chopped almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries into the bowl of melted chocolate. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients with chocolate.
Using a spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, aiming for about 1 tablespoon per cluster. Leave a little space between each cluster to allow them to spread slightly.
Refrigerate the clusters for about 20 minutes, or until they are fully set and firm.
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator if you prefer them extra firm.
