This quick overview highlights the main steps. For full details and exact measurements, see the recipe card at the end of the post.
1. Place chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
Tip: Use milk, dark, semi-sweet, or sugar-free chocolate depending on your preference.
2. Microwave the chips until smooth, stirring often to distribute heat and encourage gentle melting.
3. Add the macadamia nuts to the melted chocolate and stir until they are fully coated.
4. Use a fork to transfer each nut to a non-stick baking sheet or a silicone mat, spacing them so they don’t stick together.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Optional: Before placing the coated nuts on the sheet, roll them lightly in cocoa powder or a powdered sweetener for extra texture and flavor.
How to Store These Macadamia Chocolate Nuts
Store the finished nuts in the refrigerator or freezer. They soften at room temperature, so only take out what you’ll eat right away to avoid melting in your hands.
