Ingredients
- 250 grams Dark Chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Orange Zest I used Orange & Green
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Dried Fruits, Nuts & Seeds
- 2 tablespoon Almonds roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon Cashews roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon Walnuts roughly chopped
- 4 no Dried Apricots roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon Dried Cranberries
- 2 tablespoon Golden Raisins
- 2 tablespoon Sunflower Seeds

Instructions
- Take your chocolate mould. I used my large dubai chocolate mould. Add nuts and dried fruits in which ever pattern you like.
- Take chopped dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add in coconut oil and pop it into microwave. Melt it on high for 10 seconds interval. Remove every 10 seconds and give a mix so the chocolate melts evenly. It will take around 30 to 40 seconds for the chocolate to be completely melted. Alternatively you can melt them over a double boiler.
- Remove from microwave and mix really well so the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add in orange zest and mix well.
- Now pour this over the dried fruits and nuts. Gently tap to spread evenly.
- Place this in fridge or freezer for 1 hour. De mould and break into barks. Enjoy as it is or pack it and give as gifts.
