Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. This is a devilishly delicious treat in a heat wave. It's chocolaty, nutty, crunchy, melt-in-your mouth delicious guilty pleasure. The recipe calls for macadamia nuts but you can use any kind of nut with this recipe and these clusters will still be delicious. Even though nuts are healthy, they are high in fat so stick to 2 clusters per serving. Since this is a 5-ingredient recipe, serve this to Claire Robinson and she will be SO happy you gave here these clusters.
