  7. Gently press the toppings into the chocolate so they stick.

Notes

Notes
  • Use dried fruit only. Fresh fruit adds too much moisture.
  • Toast the nuts before adding them for deeper flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
  • Use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your preferred sweetness.
  • Place parchment paper between layers if stacking pieces.
