Dark chocolate is used to enrobe the salty, crispy, and toasted corn nuts. These are quite tasty and just require 10 minutes to prepare.

| Servings: | 24 |
| Yield: | 2 dozen chocolate-covered corn nuts |
Ingredients
- 8 ounces high quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups corn nuts
- sea salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 2 minutes. I microwaved for a total of 90 seconds, but every microwave is different. Once the chocolate is almost totally melted (but you can see a few chunks of chocolate), stir continuously until smooth. Set aside to cool for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface or baking sheet.
- Add the corn nuts to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated. Spoon clusters of the chocolate-corn nut mixture onto the parchment paper, about 1 heaping tablespoon each.
- Allow to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once set, serve immediately or keep in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.

These were as popular as the chocolate dipped Ruffles. Unique holiday treats. EASY
These are seriously delicious and if you prefer, you can use milk chocolate as well. Both are great! The salty corn nuts pair so well with the sweet milk chocolate.
