01 -

Ready in just 15 minutes with zero baking required, perfect for those last minute party invites
That sweet and salty crunch hits differently when you make it yourself, fresher and way more satisfying than store bought

02 -

Don't overheat the chocolate or it'll seize up into a grainy mess. Low and slow wins the race here.
If your kitchen is warm, the chocolate might take longer to set at room temperature. Just stick them in the fridge and check back in 15 minutes.

03 -

Toasting your nuts before chopping them brings out a deeper flavor that really shines through the chocolate.
If you're making these with kids, let them do the sprinkling. It keeps them busy and they feel like little pastry chefs.
