  4. Add the unmelted chocolate and stir it into the melted chocolate until it reaches 92F (33C).

  5. Fold in the cashews in the tempered chocolate.

  6. Use a spoon (as small or as big as you wish) to scoop some coshews then drop them in the prepared pan and allow them to cool and set.

  7. About 3-4 minutes into the cooling process, sprinkle the clusters with a dash of sea salt flakes, or spices.

Recipe Notes

  • Use the same method to make chocolate-covered almonds or pecans.
  • You can replace 1 cup of the cashews with 1/2 cup of pumpkin or sunflowers seeds and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries for trail mix clusters.
  • You can make this recipe using milk chocolate or white chocolate.
  • Use specialty chocolate to make this a vegan recipe or keto/Paleo.
  • Best to keep the clusters at room temperature (65-70F); if placed in the refrigerator or freezer, the chocolate might lose its smooth texture.
