Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts in a nut bowlIf you have been following along for a while, you know that I love all things tropical and Hawaiian related. You may also know that I have been back and forth to the islands multiple times, both for vacation and work. I brought home some chocolate covered macadamia nuts from my last trip. Just the other day, I was finishing the last piece and it dawned on me how easy it was to make my own.

Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts in a nut bowlSince I’m always baking with macadamia nuts, and chocolate is always overflowing in my pantry, it just makes sense that I whip up some homemade Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts. I don’t have whole macadamia nuts like the one you can get from Hawaiian Host but they are no less delicious.

Homemade Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts – Two Ways

How to Make Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts with Candy Mold

  • You can use a candy mold to make these chocolate covered macadamia nuts look really pretty, perfect for gifting.
  • The one I used here is a cherry cordial candy mold which I picked up at a local baking supply store for under $3.
  • There are also a variety of silicone candy molds that you can pick up on Amazon that will also work well.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts without Candy Mold

  • If you don’t have or don’t want to use a candy mold, you can alway just fold the nuts into the melted chocolate and scoop out clusters of chocolate covered macadamia nuts instead.
  • This way is actually faster and easier, but the shape won’t be as pretty.
  • Also, if you’re not using a candy mold, the same amount of chocolate will cover more than double the amount of nuts.

Homemade Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Don’t be lazy and melt the chocolate over direct heat or in the microwave, this will cause the fat to separate and create white marks when the chocolate solidifies.
  • It’s good to have a double boiler but you don’t necessarily need it. I always just place a heat proof glass bowl over a pot of simmering water to melt chocolate.
  • I used white and dark chocolate melting wafer in this recipe, but you can use any type of chocolate you prefer. It is always best to use the one you enjoy eating the most.
