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.
