They will store in an airtight container if you wanted to make them ahead for say a party,
or you could make a variety and make up some little gift bags for Christmas.

Prep Time

Cook Time
Nil
Yield
1 Cup Plus
Ingredients
1 Cup or 140 g Cashew Nuts
7 oz or 200 g Chocolate
OPTIONAL:
Choose milk, dark or white chocolate, or a combination.
You can halve the nuts quantity and add dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins to make up the total 1 cup quantity.
Instructions:
1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Place broken up chocolate in a bowl and put in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate has melted.
3. Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir so all the nuts are coated.
4. Use any size spoon, (I used a teaspoon), and scoop the mixture and place in clusters on the parchment paper and allow to set. Once cool, store in an airtight container.
TIP: For mine, I used peanuts. If you use larger nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, you should break them in half so they are not so big.

Do u mean to cool at room temperature?
Would the chocolate melt or sweat?
Can you share the brand of chocolate you used here?
Singapore weather is hot, I am not sure the right type of chocolate to use for this recipe.
Thanks
Lovefoodies
Hi there,
If you are in Singapore, I would suggest you cool in the fridge, cover with plastic wrap.
For the chocolate, you can use any brand. Just go with what you like. It's a very flexible and easy recipe so feel free to experiment with different chocolates and nits, fruits etc
