Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups 18-ounces assorted unsalted nuts, including peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds (I love the Trader Joe’s deluxe mixed nuts)
- 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp Maldon or other sea salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted vegan butter such as Earth Balance melted
- 6 oz vegan dark chocolate chunks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.
Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter. When the nuts have cooled down a little, add the chocolate chunks and toss.
Serve slightly warm.
