Directions
Chocolate Blocks With Fruits and Nuts,A very versatile and handy candy treat! Use a chocolate you enjoy because it is center stage in this recipe. Vary the dried fruits and nuts to reflect your personal taste. Stolen from Orangette.blogspot.com (go there now, you won’t regret it if you are a foodie who loves good writing!) stolen/modified from Gourmet Feb. 2003,Chocolate nut fruit heaven!!! used macadamias and almonds, cranberries and sour cherries – absolutely wonderful. As I was sure I’d forget them in the fridge I spooned them into small paper muffin cases where I could let them harden completely. Now I have 12 beautiful big pralinés! Thanks for posting 🙂 Made for Comfort Cafe January 2010.
