Chocolate Covered Cashews

Covering things in chocolate, it doesn't get much easier or tastier than that! Today is Chocolate Covered Cashews, which, according to Primrose, look like baby toes. When Primrose says it's easy to eat a lot of these, she isn't lying, they are small and deliciouse, but LOADED with chocolate goodness. In case you were uncertain, this recipe is from Everything On A Waffle by Polly Horvath.

Chocolate Covered Cashews

Chocolate chips or discs or melting chocolate
Cashews
Or whatever you want covered in chocolate

Melt the chocolate in a double which is baisicly this: metal bowl on top of a pot with an inch or two of water in it. Make sure the bowl isn't too big or small and that it is metal, NOT PLASTIC. Plastic will melt and weird sizes will make it hard to melt the chocolate.

Pull out a pan and cover with wax paper. This is where you will put the nut to dry.

Two choices

Patient way (also the correct way): dip each nut into the chocolate, then place on the sheet.

Fast way (also the messy way): Dump all of the nuts into the bowl of chocolate, once you have taken it off the heat. Evenly spread the nuts onto the sheet and once they are cooled try to pick the nuts apart from the nutless chocolate, otherwise you will end up with a weird sheet of nut filled chocolate mess.

Either leave nuts to cool overnight or put them in the fridge so you can eat them right away.

Eat as a snack, desert, or send to someone as an apology.
