Ingredients
- 200 grams Brazilian nuts
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 10 drops Stevia (optional, for extra sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the Brazilian nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
Step 3
Using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate gently. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and mix in the vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a sweeter chocolate coating, add a few drops of stevia to taste.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each toasted Brazilian nut into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring it is completely covered. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat the dipping process with all the nuts. Allow the chocolate-covered nuts to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 20 minutes to hasten the process.
Step 7
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the nuts to an airtight container and store them in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
