Chocolate Nut Clusters

This is one of the easiest snacks you can ever cook. Chocolate Nut Rice Cake Clusters are crunchy, easy to make, and consist of only a few ingredients. Chocolate Nut Clusters could be your everyday snack with the afternoon coffee and it can be a great last-minute gift to friends and family, besides nut clusters will look nice in a glass bowl.

I wanted to make some super easy recipe with the ingredients that I have at home. I took nuts, puffed up rice cakes, covered it all with rich chocolate, and left to cool in the fridge, and that’s it.

Chocolate Nut Clusters – Healthy, Easy Everyday Snack

Tip for making these delicious Chocolate Nut Clusters:

You can choose any of your favorite nuts, it doesn’t matter what kind of nuts you are using as long as you like the taste of them. I think the most appropriate nuts are almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews.
Chop half of the nuts, because that can help you to make the crispiness of clusters.
The coconut oil makes the chocolate more liquid and easier to process with nuts.
I prefer to keep Chocolate Nut Clusters in the freezer, then they will be harder and better held together than keeping them in the fridge.

These Chocolate Nut Clusters are:

Crunchy
Chocolatey
Dairy and lactose-free
Easy to make

Nutty
Refined sugar-free
