Chocolate, Dried Fruit and Nut Clusters (recipe, pareve) #passover

Chocolate, Dried Fruit and Nut Clusters P Yield: 24

This is a delicious confection that requires almost no cooking and can be made in minutes. I recommend making a double batch. They disappear in seconds!

Ingredients

1 cup chopped dried fruit: apricots, raisins, dates, figs

1 cup chopped nuts: pecans, walnuts, almonds

10 ounces non-dairy semi sweet chocolate

2 teaspoons liqueur of your choice

Equipment

Microwave or double boiler

Wooden spoon

Mixing bowl

Waxed paper

Directions

1. Mix dried fruit and nuts together in a mixing bowl.
2. Melt chocolate in microwave or in a double boiler. Add liqueur ad stir well.
3. Add chopped fruit and nuts to chocolate. Drop by tablespoonful onto waxed paper. If you’re making these in a relatively cool room (or using nuts from the freezer), the clusters will harden immediately. You might have to refrigerate them if your kitchen is very warm.
   
   

 Leave out the nuts and double the fruit if you need some "nut free" candy!
