These chocolate covered cashews aren’t just covered in luscious chocolate; they’re super toasty with a little crunch and sparkle of flaky sea salt. You can also make them traditionally or vegan, keto or paleo.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cashews roasted and salted
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate, chopped (use keto/paleo/vegan chocolate, if needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter or refined coconut oil for paleo/vegan
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • In a small pot over low heat, melt together the chocolate and butter or coconut oil, stirring frequently.
    1 1/2 cups (225 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Dump in the cashews and stir until combined.
    2 cups cashews
  • Drop the chocolate cashews by the tablespoon onto the prepared pan. You can use a silicon spatula to spoon the leftover chocolate over the tops of the clusters.
  • Top with flaky sea salt.

  • Place in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up. Or they can firm up at room temperature for a few hours. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also refrigerate them for a few weeks. If you want to make them in advance, store them in the freezer (don't salt the tops), and they should be ok for up to 3 months. Once they've fully thawed, then you can top them with flaky salt.
