I am off to Susy's for dinner and I thought I would take a little something to have with our coffee. This is a recipe that appealed to me because of it's ease but I did alter it a little... I have included dried cranberries and milk chocolate to ease the bitterness of dark chocolate, naturally I have ALSO added cream just so things are really smooth...
350g dark chocolate
250g milk chocolate
150ml cream
1 can of condensed milk
30g butter (unsalted)
150g pistachios
200g dried cranberries
In a bowl, break up your chocolate, add the condensed milk, cream, butter and a pinch of salt, now zap this in the microwave for 1 minute check it then go for one more minute. Stir this to see that all the chocolate is melted and and you mix is smooth. Add your cranberries and pistachios. I did cut my pistachios in half so as to ensure that I would get to see the green interior but it is not necessary.
Line a tray with silverfoil and pour your mix in smoothing the top. Refridgerate until set. Slice and serve.

I love the easy-ness of this. And I think everything tastes better with a bit of cream..or butter for that matter. X
Oh that sounds just yumscrumptious. I hope I can fit it into my kitchen to-cook list before Christmas.
Mmm .. that would go down well with a glass of port and a coffee.
Paul, you are absolutely right, cream and butter make everything better... Vida x

Hey Vida! How have u been? I thought I was the only one being MIA!
Miss your yummy posts!
Soul searching huh! Interesting. Go for it with the apprenticeship chick. Just be pre warned. The money is crap. $6.38 an hour for a first year. Do it for love, not for money.
