Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans)
- 100 grams dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, raisins, apricots)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Roughly chop the mixed nuts and dried fruits into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter.
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate, fruit, and nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly with a spatula to your desired thickness.
Allow the chocolate to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until fully set. For quicker setting, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Once the chocolate is set, break it into irregular pieces.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
