Mix melted dark chocolate with roasted cashews and optional natural marshmallow and sprinkle with sea salt to make these popular Sweet and Sea Salty Chocolate Cashews.
If you're using raw cashews, roast them either in the oven at 350°F for 10- 15 minutes or on the stovetop in a heavy-bottomed skillet, just until fragrant and starting to brown. Watch carefully and remove from heat right away. If your cashews are already roasted, you can skip this step.
Melt the chocolate over, not in, simmering water or in the microwave, checking at 30 second intervals.
Stir cashews into melted chocolate until well coated.
Remove from the chocolate one at a time with a fork and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Lightly sprinkle with sea salt and optional raw cane sugar or coconut palm sugar.
Let cool completely.
Store in a cool, dry place, but not in the refrigerator (or the chocolate will "bloom.")
Option: Make sea salty cashew clusters by stirring ¼ cup chopped all natural marshmallows into the chocolate-cashew mix. Drop by small spoonfuls on to parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
Store chocolate-covered cashews at room temperature.
