Maple Sugar and Pink Salted Cranberry Orange Walnut Chocolate Clusters

Ingredients

• 2 cups of crisp rice cereal
• 1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped roughly
• 2 tablespoons diced candied orange rind
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1 pound of semi-sweet chocolate, tempered or chocolate coating, melted
• flaky sea salt ( I used Australian pink salt)
• 1 tablespoon maple sugar

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine crisp rice cereal, walnuts, candied orange rind and dried cranberries
2. Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with waxed paper or parchment paper. Have ready two teaspoons and a rubber spatula.
3. Quickly fold the crisp rice and fruit mixture into chocolate. Don’t overmix or the chocolate will start to set.
4. Moving quickly, place teaspoons of the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet leaving about 1-inch between them. Put them in the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes. Store in a airtight container at room temperature.
