Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate)
  • ½ cup nuts (pecans, peanuts, or use your favorite chopped nuts or trail mix)
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Stir in ½ cup of nuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins.
  • Shape the Candies: Spoon onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming clusters or spreading it out to break into pieces later.
  • Chill: Refrigerate until firm, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate melts smoother and gives the best flavor. I prefer using Ghirardelli or Guittard chocolates.
  • Melt Carefully: Microwave in short bursts, stirring every 20 seconds to prevent overheating.
  • Even Coating: Stir mix-ins well so every piece is evenly covered in chocolate.
