Chocolate Covered Nuts

 

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
approximately 3 cups cashews, mixed nuts, or dry roasted peanuts


Combine all the chocolate chips together in a glass bowl. Microwave on 60% power for 1 minute. Stir gently once or twice. Microwave for another minute on 60% power. Chocolate chips should be glossy and melted slightly but still in their shape. Stir gently until melted completely. Every microwave is different, you may need an extra 30 seconds to a minute - just remember not to use full power.
Pour nuts into chocolate and gently stir to coat well. You don't really need to measure here. Just pour in some nuts, stir and see if you need to add more. The nuts should be completely covered in chocolate. A nice healthy dose.
With a spoon, drop small clusters on wax paper, parchment paper, or Silpat. Allow to cool completely then store between layers of wax paper in a Tupperware - somewhere cool and dry ( The garage is a great place!)
