Easy 2 ingredient chocolate nut clusters! Melted chocolate is mixed with roasted hazelnuts, making a simple and delicious sweet, nutty treat.
I’ve always loved chocolate bars filled with hazelnuts, Ferrero Rocher and any dessert that contains nuts. I dream about his No-Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake daily! So I’ve taken a favourite chocolate bar of mine and created an easy sweet treat!
These Chocolate Hazelnut Clusters will make a wonderful gift to give to family and friends for birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions.
The recipe needs just two ingredients: chocolate and hazelnuts. I use a pack of already roasted hazelnuts – but if you need to roast yours, just pop them on a baking tray and bake at 200°C / 180°C Fan / 400°F / Gas Mark 6 for around 5-8 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Swap the hazelnuts for another nut, such as almonds, peanuts, pecans or walnuts.
You can customise this recipe by swapping around the chocolate you use. I went for milk chocolate, but dark chocolate is great to use too, or you could use a combination of the two. Also, you could even add a handful of dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins to the mix.
This is the easiest recipe I’ve ever posted on my blog. Christmas is a hectic time for many, but you can still cut some corners and create something amazing like these nutty chocolate clusters!
I made 10 medium-sized clusters, but you can make them smaller/any size you want – even bitesize clusters are great!

Easy 2 ingredient chocolate nut clusters! Melted chocolate is mixed with roasted hazelnuts, making a simple and delicious sweet, nutty treat.
Servings 10
- 200 g dark or milk chocolate
- 200 g whole roasted hazelnuts
- Sea salt to taste
-
Melt your chocolate in a heatproof bowl, over a pan of barely simmering water, or in the microwave in 20-second bursts until completely smooth and melted.
-
Take your roasted hazelnuts, toss those into a large mixing bowl. Now pour over the melted chocolate, stir to fully coat the hazelnuts in the melted chocolate.
-
Line a large baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking mat. Using two spoons, take spoonfuls (as big or small as you like) of the mixture and place on the baking tray. Drizzle over leftover chocolate from the bowl on top of each cluster. Sprinkle with a little sea salt, if desired.
-
Place the clusters in the fridge for 20 minutes to set the chocolate. The clusters can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
