Ingredients:
Each ingredient plays a key role in flavor and texture.
Because the recipe is so simple, quality ingredients make a noticeable difference.
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Mixed nuts provide a variety of textures and flavors, from buttery pecans to crunchy almonds.
Unsalted nuts are recommended so you can control the salt level precisely.
Sugar-free chocolate chips keep the recipe lower in sugar while still delivering rich cocoa flavor.
Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and sets the clusters firmly once chilled.
Vanilla extract enhances the chocolate, and a pinch of sea salt balances sweetness and deepens flavor.
