Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark


It's the season where everyone is looking for the perfect gifts for their loved ones. It's all the more special if its something homemade, something that looks fabulous and at the same time requires so little effort. These bars are so easy to make and there is no baking involved!! It's just the thing to involve your kids in and they'd be so excited! Melt the best chocolate you can find and top it with your favorite fruits and nuts and pack them in cute little bags and you've got the perfect gift! And Chocolate does make one Smile!!

Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark


Ingredients:
12oz bittersweet/ semisweet/ milk chocolate
1/2 cup mixed dry fruits (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
1/2 cup mixed nuts, roasted and chopped roughly (almonds, pistachios or any other nuts)


Method:
Line a 9" square pan with parchment paper, coming up the sides a little bit.
Take the chocolate in a bowl and place over a bowl of simmering water, making sure that the bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Pour into the prepared pan and swirl the pan to cover the base completely or use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer.
Immediately sprinkle the dry fruits and nuts all over the melted chocolate and press lightly into the chocolate.
Keep aside in a cool and dry place until the chocolate sets.
Once set, cut or break into pieces and store in an airtight container for upto one week.
