Ingredients

  • 20 almonds (total weight 20 grams)
  • 20 pecan halves (total weight 20 grams)
  • 20 walnut halves (total weight 60 grams)
  • 1 package Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers*
  • sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chocolate wafers in a medium, microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30 second increments, stirring until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes total.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!!

  • Make them low-carb using sugar-free chocolate.
  • Instead of using a combination of nuts you can stick with just one, like all walnuts or all almonds.
  • Add the sea salt right away so it sticks to the melted chocolate
  • Store them in an air tight container for up to a week
