Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate chips
- 200 grams raw mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Create a double boiler by filling a small pot with about 2 inches of water and placing a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed nuts. Pour the melted chocolate over the nuts and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated.
Using a spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate-covered nuts onto the prepared baking sheet. You can make individual clusters or spread the mixture out as a single layer if preferred.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each cluster and add sprinkles for decoration if desired.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Once set, transfer the chocolate-covered nuts to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or serve immediately.
