These salted chocolate macadamia nut clusters are a great low-carb treat for the holidays! With just 3 ingredients they’re super easy to whip up and are stable at room temperature making them great for taking to holiday dinner parties.

There’s a few methods of making them; you can mix everything together in one bowl and scoop out the mounds or you can do what the video shows and place a bit of chocolate down on parchment, top with the nuts, then drizzle with more chocolate. It’s up to you which method you choose. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on the top adds a nice touch.

Can I sprinkle unsweetened coconut on top to make it Hawaiian ?

I'd use 90% chocolate - or you can make your own sugar-free: Homemade Keto Chocolate

Hi, is there anyway to make the chocolate more like a milk chocolate as I can’t stomach dark chocolate. Thanks you.

I think that Lily's also offer a sugar-free milk chocolate bar (check out Amazon).

What are the ounces and cup measurement?

Ounces are always included in the list of ingredients. The cup measurement for the chocolate chips is a little more than 1 1/3 cups.

I love these simple recipes! I don't have time to cook or think of complicated meals and treats. This is perfect. I'll add some coconut oil and use my favorite 99% chocolate. No sweetener for me! 😊

when I try to print your recipes my printer goes grey.

Hi Linda, that's your printer settings - not this recipe. You have to adjust the quality of printing (usually in printer features > print quality but that depends on your printer). I hope this helps!
