Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 100 grams Almonds (roasted, unsalted)
- 100 grams Pecans (roasted, unsalted)
- 100 grams Cashews (roasted, unsalted)
- 100 grams Peanuts (roasted, unsalted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet or tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, cashews, and peanuts.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate over the nuts and gently stir until all the nuts are evenly coated in chocolate.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form clusters.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each cluster while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 7
Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Step 8
Once set, transfer the nutty chocolate clusters to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
