Recipe Notes

Store the candy in a refrigerator for up to two weeks. But if it’s like my house they won’t last that long!

I used dark melting chocolate, 72 percent, from a bag.

I didn't have mini baking liners so I cut regular holders down in half.

Here's how to make it:

Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with baking liners. If you don’t have a mini muffin pan place 24 liners on a cookie sheet. Add 4 to 5 cashews to each liner.
In a medium glass or other microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate and melt in the microwave for three 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
Use a spoon and drizzle the melted chocolate over the nuts. Sprinkle with the flaked sea salt.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
