Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups roasted unsalted mixed nuts roughly chopped
  • 11 oz soft caramel candies unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 4 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Heat caramels and cream on low, stirring smooth. Off heat, add nuts.
  2. Drop 24 small mounds on parchment; set 30 minutes.
  3. Microwave chocolate in dry microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between. Drizzle over clusters; add salt and chill 10 minutes until firm.

Notes

Equipment: heavy saucepan, parchment-lined tray.
Serving size: 1 cluster.
Store refrigerated, separated with parchment, for up to 1 week. Bring out shortly before serving; caramel stays chewy rather than brittle.
