Chocolatty Fruitty and Nutty

It’s been a busy week with Shlok (my lil’ fellow) stepping into a play school and helping him settle in. (I am glad he loves the place now). Just when it was getting indecisive on my next post, an event title by a blogger “Drive me nuts” caught my attention. Can't just get the title off my head...what more, it has driven me to take part in the event. The unfortunate part - the event gets over tomorrow and a few hours left to whip something interesting. I had to come up with a dish that’s tempting, yummy,simple and fast. I have always used nuts in many dishes but this is possibly the first time when they take center stage and are being used as the main ingredient. 
For all those who want to be driven nuts, follow me… 

Preparation time: 5minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 4-5


You need:
100 gms dark chocolate (I used Amul)

¼ cup almonds
¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup cashew nuts
¼ cup pistachios
¼ cup raisins






Step-by-step:

Melt the chocolate in the microwave oven for two minutes (you can use a double boiler too)

Mix till smooth

Add the nuts and mix

you don't need to taste it, it will be yummy [or you'll finish it even before it sets :) ]

Spread a piece of foil on a tray and spoon the chocolate mixture (now lick up the chocolate that's sticking in the bowl! ;) divine!)


Refrigerate till it sets (about 10 minutes)


Remove carefully from the foil and… what are you waiting for... ATTACK!! 

Do try it and post your comments...I'm sure they'll be a treat for your kids!
