Chocolate Walnuts

Feb 22, 2023 · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate Walnuts are the perfect one bite treat. Rather than making walnut clusters or dipping each nut in chocolate, I created these chocolate walnut cups.

Why you'll love this recipe:

All you need is 4 ingredients to make these chocolate covered walnuts!

There is no baking required, making these super easy to throw together.

This way of making walnuts with chocolate is a lot less time consuming than dipping each individual walnut in chocolate. No one has time for that!

They make for a great homemade gift! Wrap them and share them with a loved one.

Ingredients in chocolate walnuts.

Ingredients:

  1. chocolate chips of choice - I use sugar free dark chocolate chips.
  2. coconut oil
  3. raw shelled walnuts
  4. flaky sea salt

A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.

How to make Chocolate Walnuts:

This is an overview of the recipe with photos. Complete instructions are located on the recipe card below.

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together.

Walnuts and melted chocolate in cupcake liners.

Line a cookie sheet or plate with 9 mini cupcake liners.

Add about ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate into each liner.

Place 1 walnut on top. Push the walnut down into the chocolate gently.

Cover each with another ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate until you can’t see the walnut anymore.

Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Place the cookie sheet or plate into the fridge (not freezer) for about 1 hour to harden.

Remove from the liners and enjoy!

Recipe pro tips:

Chocolate burns very easily. Don't leave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Don't let the melted chocolate sit for too long. It hardens as it sits, making it thicker. Then, it will be harder to pour into the liners. Pop it back into the microwave for 10-15 seconds if needed.

You can use other nuts in this recipe if you would like instead.

Recipe FAQs:

Do walnuts taste good with chocolate?

Of course! The crunchy, savory, nuttiness of the walnut pairs perfectly with the sweetness and creaminess of the chocolate.

Are dark chocolate covered walnuts good for you?

Yes! Dark chocolate is lower in sugar than milk chocolate. It's also filled with antioxidants and magnesium. Walnuts are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Storage Instructions:

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
