It is certainly true that sweet and salty go incredibly well together. If you aren't convinced, then try this simple little indulgent snack and prepare to be converted.You'll need:
- 150g bag of salted cashew nuts
- 50g mini pretzels
- 50g chocolate (milk, dark, white - take your pick)
Make it!
- Melt the chocolate in a bain marie. The key to a smooth melt is to keep the chocolate moving. Don't use a wooden spoon as this makes it lumpy; go for a metal fork instead.
- Once melted, simply add the cashews whole, break up the pretzels into smaller chunks and pop them into the mix, blending until covered.
- Spoon the mixture out onto tin foil and pop straight in the fridge until set
You can chop and change with this simple little treat - add caramel chunks, swap cashews for macadamias, go for white chocolate or even dispense with the nuts altogether and try salted popcorn instead.
Carrie, I'm drowning in a puddle of my own drool here. What a gorgeous treat!
ReplyDeleteCan I request an easy recipe for making your own white chocolate pretzel Flipz? Flipz were my favourite snack a few years ago til they ditched them. Mmm, salty pretzel chocolate goodness.
These sound like heaven.
ReplyDeleteNom nom nom nom nom nom NOM.
ReplyDeleteAre you absolutely sure this is enough chocolate? 50 g seems a bit miserly. Ah well, just have to try this for myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the yummy inspiration!

I loved those pretzels too - let us begin a campaign to bring them back! To be honest Anne, that is how much chocolate I had in the house, but if you want to use more then go for it! I was wondering about double dipping them in milk then white ... I may have to try that ...
ReplyDeleteOh dear Lord....these look like little mouthfuls of heaven...
