Be creative and have fun! Little chocolate pools covered with nuts, fruits, seeds and berries. Bite sized treats for your friends and family. These are GREAT for a party – you can make weeks prior and they present so well. And most everyone loves a bit sized morsel of goodness. I happen to LOVE pretzels and tart cherries, fig and peanuts and pepitas and cranberries. Oh, and the sunflower almond! These are really fun to make with your kids – creating all different tastes and colors. You do need to temper your chocolate – so look at the Halloween peeps post and the Valentine
chocolates for more direction and go to town. Enjoy!

Drop tempered chocolate by teaspoonful onto parchment. Smooth with the back of a spoon or a small palette knife. Drop nuts, seeds and fruits as desired. Add a little drop flaky salt if nuts are unsalted – creates a delicious sweet and salty flavor.
