Spicy Dark Chocolate Nut Clusters
Spicy Dark Chocolate Nut Clusters are sweet treat that comes together in 5 minutes! Perfect for sharing with neighbors, teachers, friends or family and gifting for the holidays.
Use roasted lightly salted mixed nuts or the nuts of your choice. . . cashews, almonds or pecans.
The addition of the cayenne pepper lightly sprinkled on top adds just a hint of heat to pair with the chocolate and makes these clusters! I used dark chocolate chips for this recipe but feel free to use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Once your chocolate is melted, work quickly while chocolate is still warm and lightly sprinkle clusters with raw sugar, coarse or flaky sea salt and cayenne pepper.
Substitute gold, silver or colored sanding sugar for the raw sugar sprinkled on top for a little holiday sparkle if you prefer.
Allow to harden at room temperature or place in refrigerate until firm. Store in a cool airtight container. May be made several days in advance.
Makes about 2 dozen clusters.
