- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher, no added salt)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or equivalent sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
Roughly chop the Brazilian nuts to desired size, ensuring they are uniform for even coating. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil.
Gently melt the chocolate mixture, stirring every 30 seconds in the microwave or continuously over simmering water, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener, if using, to the melted chocolate.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and allow to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Add the chopped Brazilian nuts to the chocolate mixture, and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Use a spoon or small scoop to transfer small clusters of the chocolate-coated nuts onto the prepared baking sheet.
Dust the clusters lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, transfer the chocolate Brazilian nuts to an airtight container and store in a cool place.
Enjoy as a low sodium snack or dessert!
