Recipe of the Week 1/15: Dark Chocolate Nut Clusters with Sea Salt
Yields 20 Clusters
Ingredients:
20 almonds
20 pecan halves
20 walnut halves
1 package Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers
sea salt
Directions:
- Place chocolate wafers in a medium, microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30 second increments, stirring until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes total.
- Working quickly, dip a walnut into the melted chocolate with a fork and shake the excess off.
- Transfer to a piece of wax paper. Do the same with the pecan, then lay the pecan on top of the walnut. Repeat with the almond, finishing the cluster. Repeat with the remaining nuts.
- Finish each with a pinch of sea salt, to do this you will want to sprinkle it on top once they are are almost dry so it doesn't absorb, but not too dry or it won't stick. Enjoy!
