Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (nut-free, ideally 70% cocoa)
- 50 grams dried cranberries
- 50 grams dried apricots
- 30 grams pumpkin seeds
- 30 grams sunflower seeds
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Coarsely chop the dried cranberries and dried apricots into small pieces.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove it from heat and immediately stir in the dried cranberries, dried apricots, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature and then place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until it becomes firm.
Once set, break the chocolate into bite-sized pieces.
Store the nut-free fruit and seed chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
