Ingredients:
Chocolate Coating:
1 1/2 cups sugar-free dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Nut Mix:
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup walnuts
1 cup pecans
Sweetener Blend:
1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Touch:
Pinch of sea salt flakes
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Chocolate Coating:
In a heatproof bowl, combine sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until it’s smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Mixing the Nuts:
In a large mixing bowl, combine raw almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
Sprinkle powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and vanilla extract over the nuts, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Step 3: Coating the Nuts:
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the nut mixture.
Carefully fold and stir until every nut is generously coated in the chocolatey mixture.
Step 4: Creating the Clusters:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate-coated nuts onto the prepared sheet, forming bite-sized clusters.
Step 5: Adding the Finishing Touch:
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over each cluster for added flavor.
Allow the clusters to rest until the chocolate solidifies.
