Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams vegan dark chocolate chips
- 100 grams raw almonds
- 100 grams raw cashews
- 50 grams pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams sunflower seeds
- 75 grams dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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, melt the vegan dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the chocolate.
In a separate bowl, combine almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries.
Pour the seed and nut mixture into the bowl with the melted chocolate. Stir well to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated with chocolate.
Scoop spoonfuls of the chocolate nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can adjust the size of the clusters to your preference—typically a heaping tablespoon makes a nice size.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the clusters are completely 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 for up to two weeks.
