Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

You'll find so many different types of filled chocolate on store shelves! But you can still find countless flavor combinations to suit your tastes, ones you won't find anywhere else but can easily make yourself—your own signature chocolate. Here's an idea for a unique chocolate bar with dried cranberries, roasted almonds, and tangerine zest. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stir in the other ingredients, and pour into a mold to set. Crunchy almonds, chewy, tart cranberries, and refreshing zest add new flavors to plain chocolate.

  • 0.5 cup almond needles
  • 3 cups chocolate chips (about 1.5 x 340g packets)

  • Zest of half a tangerine
