Chocolate Treats with Nuts and Berries Recipe

A plate of finished chocolate treats decorated with colorful toppings like pistachios, dried cranberries, and hazelnuts, ready to serve after the chocolate has set and the liners have been peeled away.

Jacques loves to make these chocolate treats made in cupcake or muffin liners with his granddaughter, Shorey, for the holidays because they are easy to peel away once the chocolate has set. You’ll customize each treat with your choice of nuts, dried berries, or fresh fruit before chilling them to create a simple yet elegant confection.

Serves 1 | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Making the chocolate treats

Arrange up to 12 paper cupcake liners on a baking sheet. Pour about ¼-inch of melted chocolate into each liner (or it can be thicker if making less). Top with a selection of nuts and fruit to your liking. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

Step 1: Making the chocolate treats

4 ounces bittersweet, semisweet, milk or white chocolate, melted
Pistachio nuts
Hazelnuts
Pine nuts
Dried cranberries
Pumpkin seed
Fresh raspberries
Fresh blueberries
Mint sprigs

Step 2: Serving and storing

To serve, peel away the papers and arrange the treats on a plate or tray.

If you just use nuts and dried fruit in your treats, you can keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a month. However, if you use fresh fruit and mint leaves, they will only last a couple of days.
