Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare the Nuts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Toast (Optional but Recommended):<\/strong> For maximum flavour, lightly toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for $5-7 \\text{ minutes}$, or until fragrant. Let them cool slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chop:<\/strong> If your nuts are very large, give them a quick, coarse chop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Melt the Chocolate & Nutella<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Combine:<\/strong> Place the chocolate chips and Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Melt:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Microwave:<\/strong> Heat in $30 \\text{-second}$ intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Double Boiler:<\/strong> Stir constantly until smooth and glossy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mix:<\/strong> Once smooth, remove the bowl from the heat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        3. Form the Clusters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Fold in Nuts:<\/strong> Add the $2 \\text{ cups}$ of mixed nuts into the melted chocolate\/Nutella mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the nuts into the chocolate until they are fully coated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Scoop:<\/strong> Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Drop:<\/strong> Use a small cookie scoop or two spoons to drop rounded clusters onto the prepared baking sheet. Clusters should be roughly $1 \\text{ to } 1.5 \\text{ inches}$ wide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          4. Chill and Finish<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Salt (Optional):<\/strong> Immediately after scooping, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of each cluster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Set:<\/strong> Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least $1 \\text{ hour}$<\/strong> (or until the chocolate is completely set).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Serve:<\/strong> Once firm, store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge if your kitchen is warm).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            These are perfect to make ahead and gift! Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
