Chocolate Nut Clusters recipe you can make at home:

🍫 Chocolate Nut Clusters

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mixed nuts (e.g. almonds, cashews, peanuts, pecans, or walnuts) – roasted & unsalted

• 12 oz (about 2 cups) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate:

   • Microwave: Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

   • Stovetop: Use a double boiler or place a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until melted.

2. Combine:

   • Stir the nuts into the melted chocolate until they’re well coated.

   • Add vanilla extract if using.

3. Form clusters:

   • Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each cluster (optional).

4. Set:

   • Let clusters cool at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate for faster setting (about 20–30 minutes).

5. Serve or store:

   • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

• For added crunch, mix in some puffed rice or crushed pretzels.

• For a festive touch, drizzle with white chocolate after setting.

• Make them bite-sized or large — it’s up to you!
