  • Serves Roughly 15 pieces
  • Easy

Ingredients

250g dark chocolate (around 62% is best)

1/3 cup Shelled Pistachios

1/3 cup Natural Almonds

1/3 cup Natural Cashews

1/4 cup Whole Cranberries

6 pieces Crystallised Ginger

(each cut into small pieces)

1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 140 degrees celsius. Spread the nuts out on an oven-proof tray & roast for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before chopping roughly.

2

Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl or small pot that will fit over a larger pot of water that has just been brought to a rapid simmer. Turn off the heat and let the chocolate sit without stirring until 2/3 melted. Stir to melt the remaining chocolate.

3

Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Pour the chocolate onto the sheet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out. Sprinkle the nuts and other ingredients on top. Work fast so that the chocolate doesn’t start to set. Place in the fridge or freezer to set.

4

Use your hands to break into pieces that will fit into the neck of your jar.

Store in the fridge or in a cool part of your pantry for up to 1 month.
