Ingredients
- 2 cups whole unsalted roasted cashews
- 6 oz quality dark chocolate
- 1 tsp Fleur de Sel or flaky sea salt
- 1 tsp raw cane sugar or coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped all natural marshmallows, optional
Instructions
- Toast the cashews (if desired) either in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes or on the stove top in a heavy-bottomed skillet, just until fragrant and starting to brown. Watch carefully and remove from heat right away.
- 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 raw cane sugar or coconut palm sugar and sea salt.
- 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 1/4 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.
