Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted roasted cashews
- 6 ounces dark chocolate (60-70%), chopped
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- Prep the cups: Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with liners. Divide the cashews evenly among the cups — about 4 cashews in each.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- Assemble the clusters: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate over each cup of cashews, making sure they’re nicely coated.
- Finish with flair: Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cluster.
- Chill and set: Pop the tray into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Swap cashews for almonds, pecans, or a mix of nuts for a different twist.
- Add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a drizzle of white chocolate for extra flair.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).
