So I am not the first to have combined chocolate with nuts and dried fruit. I had some chocolate and a bag of trail mix lying around and this recipe for simple treats are particularly good. You don't have to use a bag of trail mix, you can add nuts/seeds and dried fruit (or not) of your choice. Whatever you have to hand. So go ahead and give it a try!
INGREDIENTS:
175g Milk chocolate
25g Dark chocolate
100g Trail mix or (50g Nuts/seeds and 50g dried fruit of your choice)
Sea Salt (optional)
METHOD:
Line a baking tray with grease proof paper (baking parchment). Break up the chocolate and put it in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Leave the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has completely melted and is smooth.
Stir about two-thirds of the trail mix into the chocolate. Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture on to the lined tray, then use a pallet knife to spread it as evenly and thinly as you can manage. Scatter the remaining trail mix all over the top of the chocolate mix and add a little sprinkling of salt if you like, but quickly before it starts to set. Leave to set in the fridge completely.
TO SERVE:
Once the chocolate has set, then carefully remove from the paper and break into shards with your hands or a knife. They make lovely rustic petits fours and are a great little gift. Enjoy......
