Main ingredient: almonds
Pairs well with: coleslaw, cornbread, potato salad, baked beans
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds (unsalted)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 3/4 cup Enjoy Life Foods morsels
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x11 baking dish with parchment paper, oiling the dish first so the paper sticks.
- Mix the almonds, sliced almonds, pecans, pepitas and dried cranberries if using in a medium bowl.
- Put the honey, vanilla extract and sea salt in a small pot over medium-low heat, stir them together and take the pot off the heat as soon as the mixture simmers.
- Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and stir until every piece is covered.
- Tip the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly with a spoon or spatula.
- Bake for 17 to 18 minutes; the longer it bakes, the crunchier the clusters will be.
- Let the slab cool, then break it apart by hand into individual clusters.
- Melt the chocolate morsels with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish in 30-second intervals, drizzle the chocolate over each cluster with a spoon, finish with a little sea salt and refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
