Ingredients
- 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

- ½ tsp sea salt (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Set Up Your Slow Cooker
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
- Set your slow cooker to LOW heat—this prevents the chocolate from burning.

Step 3: Stir and Add Nuts
- After an hour, stir the melted chocolates together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the nuts and mix well to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, then turn off the slow cooker.
Step 4: Form the Clusters
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top for extra flavor (optional but recommended!).
Step 5: Let Them Set
- Let the clusters cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.
- Once hardened, they’re ready to enjoy!
