A handcrafted chocolate bar is a wonderful holiday treat or gift for friends, and a way to feel like a French chocolatier without any special skills. It's made using a blend of premium chocolates, melted in a double boiler and poured into a new bar. The combination of roasted cashews, dried apricots, and dried cranberries infuses your chocolate with texture and a stunning flavor with sweet and tart notes. Allow the bar to set, then break it into pieces and enjoy.

• 220 g of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 220 g of high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 cup whole cashews, roasted
