Ingredients
- 2 cups of mixed nuts – (e.g. walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews and macadamias)
- 200g of chocolate
- 2 tbs of nut butter (e.g. almond butter)
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Roughly crush nuts – this can be done by placing them in a high-speed blender or food processor and quickly blitzing (be careful not to make them into a nut butter). Alternatively, place them into a snap lock bag and roll with a rolling pin, or roughly chop with a knife.
- Line a baking tray with oiled baking paper.
- Spread the crushed nuts evenly over the baking paper, and then set aside.
- Melt your chocolate – this can either be done in a microwave, stirring a few times, or on a stove top using the double boiler method.
- Once melted, quickly pour hot chocolate evenly over nuts to completely cover. Drizzle with nut butter.
- Place in the freezer for a few hours or overnight.
- Remover from freezer, lift out brittle and break into pieces.
Tips
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
