Easy Chocolate Clusters
The perfect sweet-but-kind-kind-of-nutritious mostly-whole-food treat that takes 5 minutes to make!
Servings 16 clusters
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mixed nuts and seeds (I used 1/2 cup chopped almonds, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (I used dried cranberries and raisins)
- 3/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Toast the nuts and seeds briefly if you'd like. I microwaved my almonds for one minute to make them a bit toasted and flavorful.
- Mix the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in a bowl.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl or on the stove. I microwaved them about 60 seconds, stirred, then 45 more seconds.
- Pour the nuts and seeds into the melted chocolate and stir until all coated.
- Scoop into a mini muffin pan, or make piles on a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Put into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until chocolate has hardened.
- Enjoy when you need a sweet treat that has the fiber and nutrition of whole nuts and seeds! These make a great addition to a holiday treat plate, or can be put in a small bag with a ribbon as a gift.
