Ingredients

• 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Add the mixed nuts to the skillet and stir to coat them with the caramel syrup. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens and caramelizes.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly transfer the caramelized nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Allow them to cool completely.
5. Once the caramelized nuts have cooled, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and melted.
6. Drizzle the melted semisweet chocolate over the cooled caramelized nuts on the baking sheet.
7. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as before.
8. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semisweet chocolate, creating a marbled effect by dragging a toothpick or skewer through the chocolate layers.
9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
10. Once the chocolate has hardened, break the nut clusters apart into small, irregular pieces.
11. Serve and enjoy the delicious marble nut clusters!
