Meaty, starchy, sweet chestnuts take a dessert-y turn in this easy recipe. They’re dipped in melted chocolate and sprinkled with chopped pistachios for a delicious and beautiful bite. We like to use precooked chestnuts for convenience; you’ll usually find them in jars or vacuum-sealed packages in the produce section, near the fresh in-shell chestnuts. We love the green color contrast from the pistachios, but you can use another nut if you prefer; pine nuts would be particularly delicious.
