How to Make It — Step by Step
Melt Chocolate
Chop both chocolates and melt together in a double boiler over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Prep the Nuts
Roughly chop almonds, cashews and pistachios so you get even pieces in every bite.
Mix In Fruits and Nuts
Remove chocolate from heat and fold in all the nuts, seeds, raisins and cranberries until fully coated.
Set in Mould
Pour mixture into a lined tray or chocolate moulds and tap gently to remove air bubbles.
Chill and Unmould
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until fully set, then unmould and break or cut into pieces to serve.
Tips for the Best Result
Always melt the chocolate compound and real chocolate together over a double boiler on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning or seizing.
Lightly toast the almonds, cashews, and pistachios in a dry pan for 2 minutes before mixing in to bring out a deeper, richer flavor in your chocolate.
Pour the chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined tray and use a spatula to spread it evenly so every piece gets a good mix of fruit and nuts.
