WHAT ARE CHOCOLATE NUT CLUSTERS?

They’re exactly that! A handful of mixed nuts tossed together in melted chocolate and then scooped into little mounds to harden. Tasty chocolate covered mixed nuts are a fun way to enjoy a salty and sweet treat.

NUT CLUSTER INGREDIENTS:

Chocolate Chips: You want to use 1 package of milk chocolate chips, but other chocolate varieties can be used for a change of flavor.

Semi Sweet Baking Chocolate: This is the bar of chocolate in the baking aisle, not the baking cocoa. You want 4 ounces (about half a bar) to help deepen the chocolate flavors.

Oil: Using 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or even shortening will help to melt the chocolate down so that it’s nice and creamy.

Mixed nuts: Use your own selection of your favorite nuts, salted or unsalted to get a treat you know you’ll like! You’ll need two cups worth!
