Delightful Nut Clusters with Condensed Milk: A Royal Treat

Ingredients:
- 2 cups mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- Optional: pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or spices like cinnamon for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prep the Nuts:
- If you prefer roasted nuts for extra crunch and flavor, spread your nuts on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until they’re golden and fragrant.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted nuts with the sweetened condensed milk. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Mix everything together until the nuts are evenly coated.
- Form the Clusters:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the nut mixture onto the prepared sheet. Make sure each cluster has enough room as they will spread a little.
- Chill:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour or until the clusters have set and are firm to the touch.
- Serve or Store:
- Once set, these nut clusters are ready to be enjoyed. You can serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These nut clusters are not only a breeze to make but also a luxurious treat that combines healthful ingredients with decadent sweetness. They’re a perfect example of how something so simple can taste so exquisite. Enjoy this delightful concoction that’s truly fit for a king!
