Ingredients

2 cups whole cashews, roasted, unsalted
6 oz quality dark chocolate
1 teaspoon Fleur de Sel or flaky sea salt
1 teaspoon raw cane sugar or coconut palm sugar
¼ cup chopped all natural marshmallows, optional

Instructions

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.
