Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
5 ounces mixed nuts, salted or half-salted (cashews, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts), oven-toasted on a greased baking sheet at 350 F for a few minutes
8 ounces mixed dried fruit, figs, apricots, cherries, cranberries and/or raisins
1 tablespoon candied ginger and/or orange peel, diced
1 pinch fine sea salt
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Roughly chop chocolate and place in the bowl to melt, stirring frequently, keeping the heat very low. Chop toasted nuts; using scissors, cut dried fruit into small pieces. Finely chop candied ginger and/or orange peel. Place fruit and nuts into a large mixing bowl.
  • Once chocolate is melted and smooth, take it off the heat and stir fruit and nuts into the chocolate. Gently stir to combine so the fruit and nuts are all combined with the chocolate. Line a pan with parchment paper that's been sprayed with a little oil. Sprinkle cocoa powder over parchment and then add the chocolate mixture. Spread it out in an even layer. Dust with more cocoa powder and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Let it cool down and set in the refrigerator, 1 hour.
  • When chocolate is set, run a knife around the edge to remove from the pan. Break or cut into pieces to make chunky chocolates.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits and nuts. This will give your chocolate chunks a more interesting flavor and texture.
  • Chop the fruits and nuts into small pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the chocolate.
  • Toast the nuts before adding them to the chocolate. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your chocolate chunks.
  • Temper the chocolate before using it. This will help it to set properly and give it a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Let the chocolate chunks cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Fruit and nut chocolate chunks are a delicious and versatile treat that can be used in a variety of desserts. They are also a great way to add some extra flavor and texture to your favorite chocolate recipes. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make your own fruit and nut chocolate chunks at home. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
