- 100 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Almonds
- 50 grams Walnuts

Instructions
Begin by preparing a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the almonds and walnuts, and set them aside.
In a double boiler, gently melt the cacao butter over low heat, ensuring it does not overheat.
Once melted, remove the cacao butter from heat and whisk in the cacao powder until smooth and well combined.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
Ensure the chocolate mixture is smooth and glossy before folding in the prepared almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and raisins.
Pour the fruit and nut chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 20 minutes or until firm.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the fridge and break into bark-like pieces or cut into squares.
Store the Dairy-Free Fruit and Nut Chocolate in an airtight container in a cool place.
