This is beyond easy but comes out great - I think it'll be a new keeper for future Christmas gift baskets. I found a mix of fruit and nuts in my store's bulk section that had cranberries, golden raisins, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and sunflower seeds. It was lightly salted, which I think helps the flavor - I'd add salt if your nuts are unsalted. The green pumpkin seeds with the red cranberries look really festive! I used more than 1 tsp of chocolate for each and didn't bother flattening it out, which is why they look so thick in my (blurry) photo. I'm sure they'd be prettier the way the recipe is written but I like the "rustic" look.

Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture.
My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie.
I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for.
