Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*
  • On large rimmed cookie sheet place the pecans in a single layer. Roast in oven for 5 minutes. Toss around at 5mins and maybe roast another 3-4 minutes.
  • You want the nuts to get darker without burning.
  • There is a fine line between roasted and burnt, so watch the nuts. Just know that less time in the oven is better as once they get a tad too crisp the nuts will turn bitter.
  • Once the nuts are roasted and cooled it's time to melt the chocolate chips in the microwave (or do this over a double boiler if you're so inclined). Place the chips in a microwave safe bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and stir. In 30 second increments melt the chips, stirring in between.

Cluster Method

  • Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. If you have a silicone mini muffin tin you don't need the paper liners. If you do not have a mini muffin tin you can line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour all the nuts into the melted chocolate and stir to coat.
  • Using a small spoon place spoonfuls of your chocolate covered nuts into each of the muffins cups or in small piles on the parchment paper. About 24-30 servings

Hand Dipped Method

  • Have a clean sheet of parchment paper or foil on a flat cookie sheet. You need the cookie sheet to transport and store in the freezer. One by one dip 3/4 of each nut into the chocolate and gently place onto the the cookie sheet.
  • You can line these up as closely as possible as they will freeze without touching each other.

Chill Time

  • Make room in your freezer or fridge to put the cookie sheet or muffin tin. The nuts need to chill for about 15-30 minutes and then you can transfer the Chocolate nuts to a ziploc bag to store in fridge or freezer.

Notes

*You can use whatever nuts you like, however roasting time and nutrition calculations will vary.
