Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Heatproof Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper Sheets

Ingredients
 
 

  • 226 grams mini dark chocolate chips
  • 340 grams roasted salted cashews
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I actually used a quarter sheet pan as you don’t actually need a full half).
  • Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Alternatively, you can use a heatproof bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring between each one to prevent burning.
  • Add the cashews into the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir to combine completely. Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow to set completely. You can place into the fridge or freezer to speed up the setting.
  • Break into clusters once the chocolate has set.
  • If you want to temper the chocolate you can definitely do that! If you don’t temper the chocolate, you may have to store in the fridge.

Notes

Tips
  • Use a high quality organic dark chocolate for this recipe. With only a few ingredients, they really matter!
  • In addition, the same goes for cashews, use high quality organic cashews that you like the flavor of when eaten alone. As those will make the best cashews for covering in chocolate.
  • I use a flaky sea salt for topping as I love the sweet and salty combo. But if you don’t have flaky sea salt, you can use fine sea salt as well and it will still be delicious!
  • If you want to temper the chocolate in this recipe, if you are gifting this candy or making for a party, then follow my instructions for tempering chocolate in my post How to Temper Chocolate for Candy Making.
