Line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Form "turtles" by placing 5 nuts in a cluster on parchment paper
Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir chips and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir the mixture. There will probably be some partially melted chips, just keep stiring until they are incorporated and fully melted

Spoon approx. 2 teaspoon of chocolate mixture over each cluster of nuts.
