Thanksgiving is coming and everyone already knows the pie is going to be there. If you want to bring something people actually remember, bring something with a little crunch and a little surprise.
These cacao nib and pecan clusters do the job. Raw organic cacao nibs are just crushed cacao beans, nothing added. They give you a real chocolate crunch with no sugar, plus fiber, magnesium, and a natural energy lift. Mixed with toasted pecans and a touch of maple they turn into a snack that sits right at home on a holiday table.
Cacao Nib and Pecan Clusters
Makes about 12 clusters
- 1/2 cup raw organic cacao nibs
- 1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- A pinch of sea salt
- Warm the maple syrup and coconut oil in a pan over low heat until combined.
- Stir in the cacao nibs and toasted pecans until everything is coated.
- Spoon small clusters onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes until firm.
Keep them in the fridge until you serve so they hold their shape. They go fast, so you may want to make a double batch.
