Equipment

1 Baking sheet
1 saucepan

Ingredients

1 ½ cups roasted cashews (see notes)
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar (see notes)
1 tsp. coconut oil
coarse sea salt (or sea salt flakes)

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small sauce pan over low heat, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Once chocolate begins to melt, stir until about ¾ of chocolate is melted and then remove from heat. Continue stirring chocolate until remaining pieces have melted.
Add the cashews to the melted chocolate and mix until combined.
Using a large spoon, drop clusters of cashews onto prepared baking sheet. I usually use about 6-7 cashews per cluster.
Let chocolate set for 10 minutes and then top each cluster with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Allow chocolate to fully harden before storing. Store in an airtight container at room temp.

Notes

I highly recommend roasted cashews as they add a nice crunch and roasting them brings out the flavor of the cashews. That said, raw cashews can be used as well.
The higher quality chocolate, the better these will turn out. I don't recommend milk chocolate. Semi-sweet or dark is best.
Drizzle any extra melted chocolate left in the pan over the finished clusters.
Chocolate cashews are best within 1 week.
