Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate
- 2 Tablespoon of cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoon of almonds, roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoon of macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoon of coconut flakes, roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoon of dried cranberries, roughly chopped
- You could sub 1/2 cup of deluxe nibble mix or fruit & nut mix with goji berries.
Method:
1 – Melt your chocolate by your preferred method. I like to do mine on the stove top. I fill a small sauce pan 1/4 with water and place over medium-high heat, place my chocolate in a small heatproof plate or bowl (you want something that fits securely over the top of your saucepan) and allow the water to come to a gentle simmer, heating the plate/bowl and melting my chocolate. Stirring occasionally until smooth, glossy and deliciously melty then remove from the heat.
2 – Fill your chocolate mold (or mini cupcake tray lined with mini paper cases.or a silicone mold for easy removal) with a heaping teaspoon of your deliciously melted chocolate and repeat until all molds are filled and all your chocolate has been used.
3 – Gentle tap your tray/mold on the counter top to smooth out and remove any pesky little air bubbles.
4 – Sprinkle with fruit and nut mix then gently tap your tray on the counter again to smooth out any remaining air bubbles and to allow the toppings to settle securely into its pool of chocolate.
5 – Place in the fridge or freezer until set.
6 – Gently remove your chocolates from their molds and pop them directly in your mouth because well, hello chocolate. Alternately you can store them in an airtight container (or ziplock bag) in the fridge or freezer until your ready to indulge.
