Healthy Fruit Nut And Chocolate Slice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven 180°C.
• Grease and line pan - 20cm x 30 cm.
• Melt butter, sugar and honey in pot.
• Stir gently till sugar dissolves.
• Stir in oats, flour and nuts.
• Cool mixture.
• Add choc chips.
• Press mixture into pan.
• Bake 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• In a small saucepan or a stainless steel bowl over a larger saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring until combined.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, yolk and sugar until pale.
• Fold in the chocolate mixture, flour and nuts until just combined.
• Spread the mixture into a greased tin (about 20cm x 20cm) and bake for about 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out moist (but not sticky and wet).
• Allow to cool in the tin before cutting into rectangles.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the chocolate on chopping boards with a large sharp knife - chopping rather than breaking it into squares will help it to melt nice and quickly. Get someone to help if necessary. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
• Put 2 heatproof mixing bowls over pans half-filled with water - make sure that the base of the bowls doesn't touch the water. Add the chocolate, then leave to melt over a gentle heat. Once it starts to melt round the edges of the bowl, stir gently just once or twice, then leave to melt again. Remove from the heat.
• Take care, as the bowls will be hot. Using a teaspoon, spoon the melted chocolates onto the paper in round shapes as evenly sized as possible - you need 16 of each type of chocolate. Leave a teaspoon of the white chocolate in the basin for later.
• To decorate the white chocolates, chop the raspberry flakes, then scatter on half the rounds and top with 2 almond halves. Put a pecan on the rest, then swirl over a little of the chocolate left in the bowl. Sprinkle with cocoa.
• To make the dark chocolates, scatter half the rounds with the candied peel and the other half with the chopped cranberries and sugared cashews. Or try a combination of them all.
• Leave the chocolates to set and harden for about 3 hours (the dark chocolate will set before the white), then pack carefully into a box. They will keep for a week.
