Chocolate barks with nuts & fruits.


The title says it all.

Was having the worse Monday blues
anyone could possibly go through,
so I decided to whip up something simple
by doing a dark chocolate bark
with walnuts and orange peel.




Only 3 ingredients:
1) Choice of chocolate (milk, white, dark)
2) Choice of crushed nuts (Cashew, almonds, walnuts etc)
3) Choice of dried fruit (Apricots, cranberries, raisins, prunes etc)

*There arent exact measurements, it just depends how much you would want to make or prefer to add in.


Melt your choice of chocolate,
(i chose the healthier choice of dark chocolate)
and melt them in a bowl over
boiling hot water for a few mins.

When done pick the bowl out of the pot
and stir in the dried fruits (as many as you want).

Do this quickly before chocolate starts to set.




Place them over a tray lined with parchment paper
and sprinkle your crushed choice of nuts (i chose walnuts)
over your chocolate mixture
and let it set in the fridge for a
good couple of hours till its solid.

So simple and you can change to play around
with the choice of fruits, nuts and flavour you want
and it can be a wonderful lil' door gift too
by breaking the choc barks up and wrapping them
in clear, decorated bags.

All in a short span of 5 mins to make!

Now the only thing dreadful is the waiting time
for it to set so i can indulge. Urgh!
