Dark Chocolate With Golden Raisins And Toasted Almonds Food

DARK CHOCOLATE WITH GOLDEN RAISINS AND TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve.

DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND ROCKS

Steps:

• Spread almonds in a large skillet; toast over medium heat until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour almonds into a bowl.
• Melt chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; pour in almonds and stir until evenly coated.
• Drop spoonfuls of chocolate-almond mixture onto a plate lined with waxed paper.
• Chill until set, about 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE ROCKY ROAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/ 400 degrees F/ Gas 6.
• Put the chopped chilli pieces and the nuts and seeds on a tray and bake for about 5 minutes until toasted-remove from oven, cool slightly, then roughly chop.
• Smash up the chocolate and melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Once the chocolate is smooth and melted take the bowl off the heat and leave to one side.
• Mix together the fruit and nuts in a bowl, and reserving a large handful, mix the remainder into the melted chocolate.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and spoon in the chocolate mixture, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with the reserved fruit and nuts, and leave to cool/ or place in fridge for 30 minutes.
• Once it has set, smash it up into bite sized chunks. This will keep for a week in airtight container.

HONEY-SWEETENED BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Combine 2 cups of the rolled oats, the almond flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a food processor. Process until the oats are ground, about 1 minute; a few larger bits of oats are okay. (Alternately you can grind 1 cup of the oats at a time in a blender.) Transfer to a medium bowl and add the remaining 1/2 cup of whole oats. Set aside.
• Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the honey until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the applesauce, eggs and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed to combine. The mixture will look soupy-that's okay.
• Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients and blend on low to combine. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the raisins, cranberries, chocolate chips and almonds. Mix on low until well combined. The dough will be looser than normal cookie dough.
• Portion the dough into 1/3-cup portions and place 6 portions on each sheet pan, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie and between the cookies and the edges of the pan. Flatten the dough portions to 1 inch in thickness. Bake one pan at a time (the second batch can sit at room temperature while the first bakes) until the cookie edges are golden brown and the centers feel set, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Cool the cookies on the parchment. Store in a covered container for up to 4 days, or freeze in freezer bags for up to 2 weeks.
