1. Dry roast the nuts in a frying pan on medium for 3 to 4 minutes stirring constantly, then allow them to cool.

6. Add each ball into the melted chocolate, gently roll to coat evenly and take it out with a fork allowing any excess chocolate to drip down. Place the chocolate covered balls on a parchment lined dish.

7. Drizzle the remaining chocolate on top, sprinkle with sea salt flakes and enjoy!
