Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • ½ cup macadamia nuts
  • ½ cup pistachios without shells
  • 2 bars dark chocolate 3.5-4oz bars, 80% or darker
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon instant esspresso powder 1
  • 1 teaspoon flakey sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
