Ingredients
- 300 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams macadamia nuts
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
Roughly chop the macadamia nuts into smaller pieces, ensuring they retain some of their crunchy texture.
Step 3
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler over low heat.
Step 4
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until evenly combined.
Step 5
Fold the chopped macadamia nuts into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the chocolate and nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for evenly-sized portions for consistent serving sizes.
Step 7
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cluster for a burst of flavor contrast.
Step 8
Allow the clusters to cool and set completely. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
Step 9
Once the chocolate is firm, remove the clusters from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 10
Serve as a snack, dessert, or gift them wrapped in decorative packaging!
