Ingredients

  • 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp solid vegetable shortening or coconut oil
  • 3 cups salted cashews
  • 1 1/4 cup toffee bits divided

Instructions

  • Line 2 standard baking sheets with wax paper. Set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt together the chocolate chips and shortening. Melt on the 50% power or using the melt function in 30-45 second increments stopping to stir each cycle. Repeat until completely smooth. (Alternately, use a double boiler on the stovetop.)
  • Use a non-stick spatula to mix in the cashews and 1 cup toffee bits. Mix until all of the nuts are covered.
  • Use a Tbsp to drop clusters onto the wax paper at least 1-inch apart. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining toffee bits while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature until set or refrigerate to speed up the process.
  • Store in an airtight container chilled or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If chilled, bring to room temperature for serving.
