Ingredients
- 170 g shelled pistachios roasted and lightly salted will work
- 100 g dark chocolate approximately 1 3.5 oz bar
- 2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- If you haven't bought pre-shelled pistachios, remove and discard the shells.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium size bowl with the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave again until melted.
- Add all of the pistachios to the chocolate and toss with a spoon to coat. Allow the excess chocolate to fall, then place the chocolate covered pistachios on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet in little clusters. Top with flaky sea salt if you like. Repeat until all the chocolate and pistachios are used up. Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to solidify.
- Transfer the pistachios to a closed container and enjoy straight from the fridge. They may melt quickly at warm temperatures. Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, if they even last that long!
Notes
- Swap out the dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate if you like!
- While the chocolate is wet, you could sprinkle on flaky salt, cookie crumbs, or candies.
- Store chocolate covered pistachios in the fridge so they do not melt.
