Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans), coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 3
Once melted, add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
Step 4
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts and shredded coconut (if using). Stir until the nuts and coconut are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 6
Lightly sprinkle each chocolate mound with a pinch of granulated sugar for a touch of added texture and sweetness.
Step 7
Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until the dainties are firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, remove from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Chocolate Nut Dainties!
