A quick, easy and healthy snack, you are going to love these walnut halves dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt.
Few things make me happier than the combination of nuts, chocolate and salt. Crunchy walnuts, rich dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt… is there anything better?
Inspired by my travels, I thought it only made sense to cover these Diamond of California walnuts with sea salt harvested in the same state that I took home from my recent visit to Terranea.
If you’ve ever bought chocolate covered nuts at a specialty shop or grocery store, you likely know how pricey they can get. I challenge you to try making them at home! Not only are they easy to make (seriously – it takes 10 minutes!) but it’s a lot more cost effective.
How tasty do these look? We love eating them cold from the fridge but they are tasty at room temp or even frozen.
No forks required.
