Ingredients

  • For the disks:

  • 100g dark chocolate

  • 100g milk chocolate

  • 100g white chocolate — all three broken into even-sized pieces

  • Suggestions for the topping:

  • 30g candied orange peel

  • 30g almonds lightly toasted and chopped

  • 30g dried cranberries

  • 30g dried apricots, sliced

Method

  1. Place the dark chocolate pieces into a heatproof bowl and place it over a saucepan of lightly boiling water. The bowl should fit snugly so that no steam gets into the chocolate.

  2. While it is melting line a baking tray with parchment and draw circles onto it by tracing a pencil around an eggcup.

  3. Spoon the melted chocolate from the bowl into the circles, spreading gently with the back of the spoon.

  4. While the chocolate is still warm sprinkle your chosen toppings onto the chocolate. Allow to cool to room temperature, it is best not to place them into the fridge as this will cause the chocolate to dull and discolour.

  5. Repeat the process with the milk and then white chocolate
