Equipment

- heat-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed Nuts or other variety
- ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips or other variety
- 1 teaspoon Oil any kind
optional
- (Optional) Flaky Sea Salt or Truffle Salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread NUTS in an even layer and set aside.
- Place CHOCOLATE CHIPS and OIL in a heat-safe bowl; microwave for 1-minute intervals until melted, stirring at each interval. Note: The double-boiler stove method is another way to do this.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the nuts as thin or heavy as you like.
- Sprinkle SALT or other toppings over the chocolate before it sets up.
- To set the chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Break the nuts into clusters and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature.
Notes
- Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat creates a natural non-stick surface with easy cleanup.
- Use any nuts for this recipe. I prefer unsalted mixed nuts, but you can opt for any variety.
- Dark chocolate is my preference for this recipe. However, you might like to use white chocolate or milk chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before removing the nuts from the tray to avoid smudging.
