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. Warm caramels and cream over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in nuts.
  2. Drop into 24 small mounds on parchment. Allow to set for 30 minutes.
  3. Melt chocolate in a dry microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring each time. Drizzle over the clusters, sprinkle with 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.
