Ingredients
- 1/2cup brazil nuts
- 1/2cup shredded coconutEither sweetened or unsweetened but the sweetened is a little softer.
- 1/4cup dried tart cherries
- 1cup vegan chocolate chipsI use the Kirkland variety.
- salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange some small “candy cups” on a plate.
- Roughly chop Brazil nuts and cook on a baking sheet for about 5-6 minutes until browned and toasty. Be careful not to let them burn. Remove and lightly salt. Let cool.
- Chop cherries very small. Measure out your coconut.
- In a microwaveable cup, melt chocolate chips by heating on high for 30 seconds, stirring and then heating and stirring again until they are just melted.
- Save out a few nuts for decoration, if desired. Stir all ingredients together and spoon a little into each cup.
- Let set for a few hours. These keep well in a cool place. Don’t refrigerate as they will become cloudy-looking, though they will still taste good! Enjoy!
