The chocolate in these Salted Fruit & Nut Chocolate Coins is thin & delicate, the sea salt cuts through the sweetness & the crunch of dried fruit & nuts is perfect.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (4oz) dark chocolate (I used Lindt 70%)
  • a large handful of mixed salted nuts (cut in half if the nuts are large)
  • a large handful of raisins or cranberries
  • flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and using a pencil, draw 10 circles (each about 5cm/2 inches) spaced out over the tray. I used an egg cup for this.
  2. Now break up three quarters of the chocolate into pieces and place it in a small microwaveable bowl.
  3. Chop the remaining chocolate as finely as possible and set aside.
  4. Set the microwave to a low power and slowly melt the chocolate in the bowl in 15 second bursts, stirring gently after each burst.
  5. When the chocolate is only just melted, tip in the finely chopped chocolate and stir until everything is melted.
  6. Now carefully spoon the chocolate onto the baking parchment, using your circles as a guide. There should be enough melted chocolate to make 10 discs. Working quickly, sprinkle the nuts and dried fruit onto the molten chocolate and finish with a little flaky sea salt.
  7. Allow the chocolate coins to harden and then store in a sealed container in the fridge - or eat them in one go, straight off the tray ...
