Pepita And Nut Clusters (like Trader Joes Nutty Bits)

Last weekend I went to Chicago and stopped at Trader Joes. I picked up a package of 'Nutty Bits' which are nut clusters dipped in chocolate. I thought they were really tasty, but decided I wanted to try to reproduce them since I don't have a J's close.

Here is what I made, with a Trader Joes Nutty Bit next to it:

Mine were a bit bigger, and came in at about 100 calories.

First, toast your nuts. You could use any nuts. 

I used a cup of each: pistachios, cashews, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and sliced almonds. I also added a little coconut ~1/4 cup.

Then set your nuts aside and cook together until it thickens:
1 T butter
2/3 cup agave syrup

Stir in your nuts and scoop out onto wax paper. (At this point you could also put the nuts in a 9x13 pan, chill, and cut into cubes. I didn't want to mess with this, so made turtle shaped clusters instead)

Then melt chocolate, I used 8 oz bittersweet and 4 oz semisweet. Put about 1/2 teaspoon on each cluster, and sprinkle with a little sea salt. I used Fleur de Sel.

Yum!
