Ingredients
- 550g of dark chocolate, broken into pieces
20g of butter
a handful of dried raspberries
dried blueberries
a handful of chopped hazelnuts
the zest of 2 oranges
a handful of dried apricots, roughly chopped
a handful of pecan nuts, roughly chopped
1 tsp cocoa nibs
Method
Line a baking tray with parchment.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof dish placed over a saucepan of boiling water. Do not let the steam from the water touch the chocolate as it will cause it to seize up.
When it has melted, stir in the butter.
Pour half of the chocolate onto the lined tray and sprinkle it with the dried raspberries and blueberries.
Stir the orange zest into the remaining chocolate. Sprinkle with the apricot, pecan nuts and the cocoa nibs.
Allow the chocolate to cool completely in a cold room. Do not place it in the fridge or it may discolour. Peel the parchment from the chocolate. Break it into bite-size pieces.
