Ingredients
1 cup sugar free chocolate chips
3 ounces macadamia nuts (about 1/2 cup)
coarse sea salt for topping
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat as needed in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted.
Place nuts into a small dry skillet and cook for 1 minute over medium high heat until toasted and nicely brown. Remove from skillet and place 3-4 nuts in a cluster together on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have 18 clusters.
Pour the melted chocolate over the nut clusters, using about 1 tablespoon for each cluster. Then top each cluster with a dash of course sea salt.
Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes before enjoying. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Recipe Notes
Please note I did change the recipe slightly. The orginial recipe uses 1.5 cups sugar free chocolate chips. I found 1 cup was plenty. The recipe in the cookbook also had just 12 clusters but I was able to make 18 using 3-4 nuts for each cluster. I also toasted my nuts for added flavor but it is optional.
