Gordon Ramsay's nut clusters are set in a buttery caramel and then coated in melted chocolate. If preferred, you can use milk or white chocolate

Ingredients

Serves: 24 Preparation: 30 Total Time: 30min

Line a baking sheet with a silicone cooking liner or baking parchment. Melt the sugar with the water in a heavy-based saucepan over a very gentle heat. Once all the sugar grains have dissolved, stir in the melted butter. Increase the heat and boil to a mid-golden colour. Take off the heat.
Drop in a cluster of three nuts, scoop out at once with a metal spoon and place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining nuts to make about clusters. Cool until set and firm.
Melt the chocolate (click here to find out how). Dunk each nut cluster into the chocolate to coat and place on baking parchment to set. Store in an airtight tin for up to three days.
