Chocolate Covered Dried Fruit

Hi there,

today I wanna show you how to make chocolate covered dried fruits and nuts. I think those are a perfect gift in cases when you want to make somebody a small present that doesn't cost too much but still shows that you made an effort. Chocolate Covered Dried Fruit are perfect in this sense as they are hand-made (but easy too make), super tasty and the ingredients are definitely affordable.

What you'll need (for 6 small gift bags)

• 100g dark chocolate
• 100g milk chocolate
• 100g white chocolate (of course you can simply choose just one sort of chocolates but I thought a little mixture would look nice in the gift bags)
• 200g dried dates (without pits)
• 200g prunes (without pits)
• 100g cranberries
• 150g blanched almonds and hazelnuts

How it works

Choose one of your chocolates and melt it in a bowl over a pot of boiling water.

Put the fruit into the melted chocolate and turn them around with a fork to make sure that they are fully covered in chocolate. Then put them on a plate to set.

Repeat that with your other chocolates.

After the chocolate covered fruit have set carefully detach them from the plate and fill them into small paper gift bags. 

Seal up your gift bags and voilá - finished are your presents.
