This is a good one for an easy Christmas present.
There are only two important details to remember. First, buy very good chocolate.
I buy mine from Patisserie Daniel, but any good chocolate will work. The second
thing is to melt the chocolate very slowly in a double boiler over simmering
water only - not boiling. I don't actually own a double boiler, I just sit a
metal bowl in a pot of simmering water on the burner.
500g chocolate (semi-sweet or white)
1/2 C toasted almonds or dried cranberries (I am guessing about the amount,
I just eye ball it)
2T grated orange peel
Melt chocolate in double boiler until about 3/4 of it has melted, then remove
from heat and continue stirring until remaining chocolate has melted. Stir in
orange peel and nuts or cranberries and pour onto a cookie sheet lined with
plastic wrap ( this gives it a shiny surface) and cool - that it. The entire
process takes about 15 minutes.
Enjoy
