Keyword chocolate covered chashews
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Roasted cashews (280g / 10 oz)
  • 2 Cups Chopped chocolate (65-85%) (340g / 12oz)
  • 2 teaspoons Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper (wax paper is also ok) and set aside.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a deep, large heat resistant bowl. Measure half a cup and place it aside.
  • and warm in the microwave using 30-second increments until it reaches 115F (46C).
  • Add the unmelted chocolate and stir it into the melted chocolate until it reaches 92F (33C).
  • Fold in the cashews in the tempered chocolate.
  • 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.
  • About 3-4 minutes into the cooling process, sprinkle the clusters with a dash of sea salt flakes, or spices.

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.
