Ingredients
  

  • 3 chocolate bars (combination of 1 milk chocolate bar and 2 dark chocolate bars)
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup roasted almonds (or your choice of nuts or seeds)
  • 1 cup dried cherries (or other dried fruit)
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Place the three chocolate bars on a slip mat, or parchment-lined baking sheet. If using white chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the chocolate bars.
  • Set the oven to 225 degrees and place the sheet pan in the oven.
  • Watch the chocolate carefully as it starts to melt (about 10 minutes). Remove once all three bars have melted.
  • Take the bars out of the oven and, using a spoon, fork, or toothpick, swirl the different chocolates around until they are evenly dispersed.
  • Sprinkle the dried cherries and almonds (or whatever other toppings you’re using) on top of the chocolate.
  • Place the entire pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces, then serve immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or at room temperature for 1 week.

Notes

  • Don’t let the chocolate bars burn! Watch it carefully as it melts. It should only take about 10 minutes.
  • Some types of chocolate melt differently than others. If it looks like one or more of your chocolate bars aren’t melting as quickly, poke the side of it with a toothpick to check. You want it soft enough that you’ll be able to swirl it around on the pan to mix the different varieties.
  • Watch the salt. If you use salted almonds, be careful of adding too much sea salt at the end!
