Ingredients
- 3 cups Nut/Seed/Dried Fruit Mix* (make your own or buy a pre-made mix -- make sure it's no-salt and no-sugar added though)
- ½ cup Honey

- 1 tsp Vegan Shortening, optional but highly recommended (I prefer this brand)
Nut/Seed/Dried Fruit Mix

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir to combine everything evenly.
- Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out so it's about ½" thick. Try to keep it away from the edges, as the honey will spread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once it's completely cool and hardened, break the nuts into clusters.
- Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the bottom of each cluster in the melted chocolate, pressing down so it comes up the sides just a little bit.
- Set chocolate-dipped cluster on a piece of parchment. Once all clusters are dipped, put them in the fridge for a few minutes to harden the chocolate. Store in an airtight container.
