- Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over the walnut and apricot clusters. Drizzle just enough to cover the majority of each cluster as the chocolate acts like a glue that will hold the clusters together

Notes
This recipe makes approximately 12 clusters.
We used 2 standard 1.5oz dark chocolate bars, for a total of 3oz of chocolate. You can also use milk chocolate if you prefer. We don't recommend using chocolate chips because they don't melt as consistently.
