How to Make Chocolate Blocks With Fruits And Nuts
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Lightly brush the foil with vegetable oil.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (double boiler), melt 12 ounces of your favorite chocolate, stirring occasionally until completely smooth. Avoid overheating.
- While the chocolate melts, prepare your mix-ins: 1/2 cup chopped dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, cherries, apricots) and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, almonds).
- Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and gently stir in the prepared dried fruits and nuts.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm. If it's too cold, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting.
- Use the foil overhang to lift the chocolate from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Carefully peel back the foil and cut the chocolate into your desired size and shape.
