Ingredients

  • 10 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios divided
  • coarsely ground sea salt

Instructions

  • Prep the pistachios. Place pistachios into a ziplock bag and crush them with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin. Set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate and add the pistachios. In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and microwave for 90 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second increments until the chocolate is melted. Stir most of the pistachios into melted chocolate. Reserve some to sprinkle on top of the finished product.
  • Spread the chocolate and let it cool. Spread the chocolate mixture onto wax paper with a spatula. Sprinkle coarsely ground sea salt and the rest of the crushed pistachios. Let cool until hardened, then break into pieces.
