# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get to pick every single ingredient, so theres no filler or anything you dont like.
  • It takes ten minutes to make and lasts two weeks, which feels like a small victory in meal prep.
  • Its the kind of snack that satisfies cravings without making you feel sluggish afterward.
  • You can portion it into little bags and toss them in your car, backpack, or desk drawer.
02 -
  • If you live somewhere humid, the chocolate chips can get a little soft, so keep the container sealed tight or store it in the fridge.
  • Dont skip the mixing step, or youll end up with all the chocolate at the bottom and all the nuts at the top.
  • Raw nuts taste cleaner and last longer than roasted, salted versions, which can go stale faster.
03 -
  • Make a double batch and keep half in the freezer so you always have a backup stash ready to go.
  • Taste as you mix to make sure the sweet-to-salty ratio feels right, and adjust before you seal it up.
  • If youre giving it as a gift, layer the ingredients in a clear jar so people can see all the colors and textures.
