Chocolate Raisins & Nuts Bars

Chocolate Chocolate!! Who doesn't like chocolate? I think there is none right..:) We adults always love chocolates but just because of the word "FAT" then we'll try to eat less..at least I'm one of them..haha!
Okay, today's post a very simple and yet rich with chocolate and nuts bars which my family adores..:D

Chocolate Raisin & Nuts bars!! This recipe has been with me for at least 10 years, and this was only the 3rd time I made...;p Why? You know larr...."fattening" was the fact..LOL!
But this time it was meant for my daughter, anyhow this is her 1st time trying...haha!


Recipe:
250g Granita biscuits (break into bite size)
100g mashmallows (small ones, or halved the normal size)
50g black raisins
50g yogurt raisins
1 cup roasted peanuts
375g good quality dark chocolate ( i used Vahrona Chocolate)
60g shortening

Mehtod:
~ Prepare a tin (6x9") lined with cling wrap. (make sure the cling wrap enough to cover the top)
~ Combine biscuits with marshmallows, raisins, cherries and peanuts. Set aside.
~ Melt chocolate in a pot, when chocolate is totally melted, add in shortening and mix well.
~ Pour melted chocolate mixture into the biscuits mixture and mix well.
~ Cover the top with the rest of the cling wrap and press firmly.
~ Refrigerate until firm. (at least 5-6 hours)
~ Cut into thick slices or squares.

** Chocolate Bars can be store in fridge for a week.


All so crunchy and chocolatety...this is not the usual bars that you can find at the outside store. Believe me, you'll never stop after starting with the first slice...:D

  5. Janice,
    You can always replace the granita biscuits with plain Marie biscuits. Actually it's up to you what you like to put inside...:) btw, I got my vahrona chocolate from Singapore.
