I decided to keep it really simple for Sugar High Friday #13. Just two ingredients combined to form heavenly little nuggets of frozen-together goodness. Sometimes the simple things in life are the most exquisite.

Usually, I make this treat with dark chocolate and raspberries, but I couldn’t fine any fresh berries. So, I switched the plan and used macadamia nuts instead. My husband’s Aunt Ruthie gave me the idea for these. She makes them with apricots, too, but I think there’s something more complicated to that so I will wait and see if I can get the apricot secret out of her.

So, I started with a pound of 70% dark chocolate from Trader Joe’s and a bag of unsalted macadamia nuts. I coarsely chopped half of the nuts to give some variation to the texture.

Then I melted up the chocolate in the microwave. Here’s where it gets kind of messy. Use a spoon and make a little puddle of melted choclate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle in a few macadamia nuts, to taste. This what it looks like before the final step:

Then drop one more spoonful of melted dark chocolate on top of the nuts. After you fill up the baking sheet with these luscious little discs, it will look like this:

Actually, it will probably look a lot neater than that because I am a sloppy cook. The kitchen is not a pretty sight when I’m in action. But the food usually tastes really good, I promise! With this treat, how could it taste bad with such rich and simple ingredients?

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour. Then remove and enjoy. Keep any leftovers frozen and just pop them out of the freezer one at a time when you’re ready for a treat. Yum! These are actually quite dangerous to have in the house. When I make the raspberry ones, they usually don’t last long.

If you look at the original photo on the top of this post, you will see the final product. The chocolate darkens and deepens. They’re the perfect sugar high - for Fridays or any day.
