Instructions
Line a mini muffin tin with 24 muffin cups.
Evenly divide the macadamia nuts between the muffin cups, around 5 or 6 nuts each.
Prepare one of the chocolate coatings below then evenly divide over the nuts (about ½ Tbsp. of chocolate coating #1 and 1 Tbsp. of chocolate coating #2).
Place in the freezer until set up, around 30 minutes to an hour.
Store covered in the fridge for one to two weeks or freeze in a freezer-safe baggie for up to 6 months.
Chocolate Coating #1:
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds then stir. Then, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate chips are completely melted. If you prefer not to use a microwave, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a bowl of boiling water, being careful that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir continuously until melted.
Chocolate Coating #2:
Add the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and xylitol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose into a medium-sized saucepan (if using stevia, do not add at this time). Heat over medium heat until coconut oil is melted and sweetener is dissolved. Then, stir in the vanilla and stevia, if using.

If you're not a fan of macadamia nuts, feel free to use any nuts you prefer!
Melting Chocolate: If you heat the chocolate too fast or unevenly, it will get hard and lumpy. So be sure to stir well between each interval or be sure to not get the chocolate too hot if heating on the stove!
For the sweetener, I prefer to use allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol. All three of these sweeteners dissolve really well and taste just like sugar! Keep in mind that if you use allulose, allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners. So for every 1 cup of sugar, you'll need to use 1 ⅓ cup of allulose. I don’t recommend using an erythritol-based sweetener unless it's powdered. Otherwise, it will be grainy. Liquid stevia is another option. However, depending on the brand, it may leave a slightly bitter aftertaste, and you may need to use quite a bit. Because of this, I tend not to use this option, or I use it in combination with another sweetener.
