Steps:
- In the top of a double boiler over hot (but not boiling) water, melt the chocolate chips.
- Stir in nuts, condensed milk, vanilla and salt.
- Mix well.
- Cool the mixture until until you can work with it comfortably. If it is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator until it is workable. The temperature in your kitchen and the type of nut (and fineness of chopping) used can influence how much it needs to chill before being workable.
- Butter hands and roll mixture into 1 inch balls.
- Roll the balls in the chocolate sprinkles (or grated chocolate) and refrigerate.
CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY NUT BALLS
I'm gravitating towards the Paleo Diet so I created this high-protein and energy snack recipe out of a desire to eliminate those expensive and so-called nutritious protein bars. I don't want all of the processed carbs that are hidden in them because, quite honestly, they aren't that healthy. These are really tasty and my whole family loves them. I recommend making them fairly small and bite-sized, as they can crumble a little as you're biting into them. Freezing or refrigerating them keeps the messiness down, but they won't spoil if left at room temperature. I eat 4 or 5 with a big glass of water and feel full!

Tips:
- Use a variety of nuts: Different nuts provide different flavors and textures, so don't be afraid to mix and match. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews.
- Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of the show, so don't skimp on качество. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. If you're using dark chocolate, you may need to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
- Chill the dough before shaping: Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and shape. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use your hands to shape the balls: Using your hands gives you more control over the shape and size of the balls. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls before dipping in chocolate: Freezing the balls makes them easier to dip in chocolate and helps the chocolate set more quickly.
- Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate: A double boiler is the best way to melt chocolate because it prevents it from overheating and seizing. You can also melt chocolate in the microwave, but be careful not to overheat it.
- Dip the balls in chocolate: Use a fork or toothpick to dip the balls in the melted chocolate. Tap the fork or toothpick against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: Place the dipped balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
Conclusion:
Nut chocolate balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a variety of nuts, chocolate, and toppings to choose from, you can customize them to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give nut chocolate balls a try.
