Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brazil nuts
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power for 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water, and stirring the chocolate and coconut oil until melted.
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in the sea salt to evenly distribute.
Add the Brazil nuts to the melted chocolate, stirring gently until all the nuts are evenly coated.
Using a fork or a slotted spoon, transfer the chocolate-coated Brazil nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer with some space between each nut to prevent them from sticking together.
Once all nuts are coated and arranged on the tray, sprinkle a tiny pinch of extra sea salt over the top of the nuts, if desired, for an extra touch of flavor.
Allow the chocolate to set by refrigerating the tray for about 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Once the chocolate is solidified, transfer the Brazil nuts into an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for longer freshness.
Serve these delicious heart-healthy Brazilian nuts as a snack or dessert. Enjoy!
