Chunky Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bark It*s fun and easy to make your own holiday candy. Packed in a pretty tin lined with colored foil or acetate, this chunky bark makes a great gift. Because it has no commercial stabilizers or gums, it needs to be kept refrigerated to prevent melting. Makes about 2 pounds 1 1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2/3 cup dried cherries 2/3 cup Earthbound Farm Organic Flame Raisins 2/3 cup salted cocktail peanuts 2/3 cup roasted cashews Line a cookie sheet with foil and lightly oil. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Remove chocolate from the heat and stir in the dried fruit and nuts. Spread evenly on the prepared cookie sheet and refrigerate until very firm. Break into pieces or cut with a knife if a more uniform candy is desired. To store, keep tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for several weeks.
May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, The gladness of Christmas give you hope, The warmth of Christmas grant you love.
