Chocolate Nut Clusters
INGREDIENTS:
4 ozs Dark Organic Chocolate (at least 75% cacao, chopped)
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1 cup nuts (i used a mix of raw walnuts, macadamia and almonds)
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt (mix into chocolate and/or add on top of nut clusters)
Optional: Pure/high quality essential oil for flavor (see notes below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in a sauce pan over low heat until melted. Stir well to combine.
Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add vanilla, orange oil and sea salt (if desired) and nuts to the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Use a spoon to drop small, even clusters (containing about 4 to 5 nuts each) onto the parchment paper.
Optional: Sprinkle coconut (and/or sea salt flakes) overtop of each cluster immediately. Transfer to the freezer until the clusters are set, about 15 minutes.
Remove from the freezer and enjoy!
NOTES:
Mix up the flavor and add 2-3 drops of a pure ingestible essential oil like doTerra. I love wild orange and peppermint.
Paleo or avoiding refined sugar? Use 100% cacao dark chocolate and add honey or maple syrup to achieve desired sweetness, starting with 1-2 teaspoons.
