Holiday treats!

Need a last minute gift? Or maybe you want to bring a snack to a party? Here it is! This is so simple, delicious and can be customized to suit exactly what you like!!

I used:
Dark chocolate (I used 70% chips)
Pistachios
Dried cranberries
Flaked Sea salt
White chocolate
Walnut crumbs

If these toppings don't appeal to you, change it up to suit your taste.

This is the easiest treat ever! From start to finish it takes about 20-30 minutes.

To start, melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. It gets so smooth and perfect this was. In the microwave the chocolate can get a bit crisp on the edges.


Once it is fully melted and smooth, pour onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Smooth the chocolate across the sheet.
You can smooth it out so it's very thin, or keep it thicker. It's your choice, but it will take longer to re-harden the thicker it is.


Sprinkle your toppings on. As much or as little as you'd like. Don't leave out the salt. It brings out the sweetness so the chocolate isn't overly bitter. 
Once you have it how you like, put it in the fridge or freezer until it's good and solid. 
Success!




Now all that's left is to break it up and give it to the people you love! 

Happy new year everyone!
xoxo
