Not the kind with 4 legs. The candy type. I made these and it has been a nice treat.
Roast your nuts, warming them but only till you smell them. Pull them out quickly - you don't want to burn them.
Melt good quality chocolate with heavy cream. I use 60% cocoa or more. Don't add sugar to this. I use the microwave.
Pour the melted chocolate over the roasted nuts. You can put a little caramel on the nuts before you pour the chocolate on, but I usually don't. The chocolate and nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds) are enough.
Shake sea salt on top while it's still warm. Let it cool, then put in the freezer. Break off a piece for a treat once in a while.
I'm trying to figure this out. Do you use a really tiny amount of cream with the chocolate? I can see it being a runny mess if I get the ratios wrong.

Good question.
I have used a little, and I have used a lot. I've never had a mess because I keep them in the frig - or usually keep it in the freezer. I don't eat it that often that I would leave it on the counter.
When I plan to make it for others, and it will be part of a spread, I melt the chips gently and add no more than 2 tbs of cream per cup of chocolate. That way the chocolate sets up hard again at air temps.
