Tips For Making Macadamia Nut Clusters

Use Baking Specific Chocolate

Baking chocolate melts far better than most other types of chocolate. When I tested this recipe, I originally tried chocolate chips but they simply don't melt very well. They're clumpy when they melt. Use dark baking chocolate for this recipe if you can.

Don't Set Them For Too Long

They will become too hard and difficult to bite through.

What Are Chocolate Macadamia Clusters?

They are made from chocolate that has been mixed together with macadamia nuts and then set in the fridge to harden. That would be the most basic version, although I have added a couple extra ingredients.

Customisations & Substitutions

Add an extra topping. Chocolate orange tastes great alone with flaxseeds but why not add another topping? I love adding a second type of nut to the outer shell such as chopped hazelnuts or peanuts.
Use vegan milk chocolate instead. This will give the macadamia nut clusters a creamier taste in comparison to the dark chocolate that this recipe calls for.
