CHOCOLATE NUT CLUSTERS WITH SEA SALT

This is a quick to make recipe that does require an hour chilling time before serving.

2  cups dark chocolate chips, divided, + more for topping
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups pecan halves, toasted and cooled
Flaky sea salt for garnish

Line 24 mini muffin cups with paper liners; set aside.

Place 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals just until melted, stirring after each interval. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and salt; stir until smooth. Allow to cool 5 minutes; add the pecans and stir.

Using two spoons, drop about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture into each of the muffin cups. Drizzle any remaining chocolate evenly over the clusters. Refrigerate 5 minutes then top each cluster with a few sea salt flakes. Return to refrigerator and chill for 1 hour before serving.

Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in cool place.
