Ingredients

  • 2 cups walnuts whole
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp bourbon optional
  • 1 tsp orange zest finely grated
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • Flaky sea salt for dusting

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, toast walnuts for 2–3 minutes. Add maple syrup, bourbon, orange zest, and fine sea salt. Stir for 2–4 minutes until syrup begins to thicken.
  • Remove walnuts from heat and place on top of parchment paper. Pull walnuts apart and allow to cool completely.
  • Microwave your chocolate and espresso powder in a bowl for 30 seconds at a time. Stir in between each microwave until the chocolate is melted.
  • Stir in walnuts and remove from the bowl. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place on parchment paper.
  • Once chocolate begins to harden, about 3–4 minutes dust your walnuts with cocoa powder and flaky sea salt.
