Celebration Clusters

This recipe comes from my friend Hannah Marcotti who is a Holistic Health Counselor. www.hannahsharvest.com

1 Cup walnuts,chopped and lightly toasted
1 Cup almonds, chopped and lightly toasted
3/4 Cup almond butter
3/4 Cup agave nectar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/4 Tsp sea salt
1/2 Cup coconut flakes, lightly toasted
Pinch sea salt
1 Cup dark Chocolate

Toast walnuts, almonds and coconut in separate batches. Set aside. In a small saucepan, melt almond butter and agave until smooth. Stir in vanilla and sea salt. Remove from heat and stir in nuts and 1/4 cup coconut. On parchment lined baking sheet, drop tablespoons of "carmel" mixture onto the sheet. Taking a pinch of sea salt, sprinkle the tops of each "carmel" with a tiny bit of salt (TINY). Place in freezer for 10 minutes while you melt chocolate in a double boiler. Spoon melted chocolate on candy. Sprinkle more toasted coconut on the tops. Place back in freezer. I prefer to serve these right out of the freezer. I spaced on taking a picture of these...sorry.
