Ingredients
- 250 grams Brazilian nuts
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the Brazilian nuts evenly on the prepared baking tray and roast them in the oven for 10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 4
Fill a pot with a little water and bring it to a simmer. Place the heatproof bowl with the chocolate over the pot, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water (double boiler method).
Step 5
Stir the chocolate occasionally until completely melted and smooth, then add in the butter, stirring until well combined.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the heat, and stir in the sea salt.
Step 7
Add the roasted Brazilian nuts into the melted chocolate, ensuring each nut is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Step 8
With a fork or a small tong, carefully lift each chocolate-coated nut and place them onto the parchment-lined baking tray, making sure they don't touch each other.
Step 9
Allow the chocolate-coated Brazilian nuts to set at room temperature, or refrigerate them for quicker setting.
Step 10
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Brazilian nuts in chocolate into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks, or refrigerate for up to a month.
