Ingredients
- ½ cup pecans
- ½ cup hazelnuts
- ¼ cup pistachios (shelled)

- ⅓ cup dried sour cherries or cranberries
- 300g dark chocolate
- 1 orange (zest)

Method
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees, fan bake and line a 20cm x 20cm tin with baking paper.
- Roast the nuts in two separate trays. Add the pecans and hazelnuts together in one tray and the pistachios in another; roast for 10 minutes. Then remove them from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, add the hazelnuts, pecans, coconut and dried fruit to the lined tin; stir to combine.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Once the chocolate has melted, add in the orange zest and spices.
- Pour the dark chocolate over the nuts and fruit; stir through the chocolate to ensure even distribution. Top with sea salt and the chopped pistachios and pop into the freezer to set for a couple of hours.
