Equipment

  • 2 ⅓ cups salted or unsalted almonds
  • pinch coarse sea salt

    2 ⅓ cups salted or unsalted almonds

  • Place in the fridge for 20 minutes or until set. Enjoy!

Notes

Store
  • If you leave the clusters out of the fridge, they will definitely need a cooler room to harden. If not, they will remain tacky or melt.
  • I tend to use the freezer if I’m in a hurry.
  • These will keep in an airtight container in a cool area for about a week. They will keep in the fridge for a month, in an airtight container. They will keep up to 2-3 months when stored in the same manner in the freezer.
Substitutions
  • You can swap out the almonds for another favorite nut or dried fruit.
  • Use whatever type of chocolate is preferred. I use semi-sweet, but dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate would work just as well.
