Directions

Melt chocolate (see Tasty Tip below). Once chocolate is completely smooth and still very warm, scoop 1 tbsp. spoonfuls onto a sheet of parchment paper, gently swirling to create disc shapes approx. 2" in diameter and ¼" thick. Before chocolate cools, press 1 pistachio, 1 almond, 1 cranberry and 1 raisin into each disc. Sprinkle discs with a tiny pinch of salt each. Allow to cool for several hrs. Store in a cool, dry place with parchment between layers of candy for up to 1 week.

Tasty Tips:

  • To melt chocolate, microwave in a heat-safe dish on 50% power, stirring between 60 sec. intervals. As chocolate becomes more fluid, cut interval time to 30 sec., then 15 sec., stirring between bursts.
  • Other dried fruits and nuts may be substituted.
