Petite chocolate bites topped with pistachios, raisins, almonds, and orange make for a very grown-up candy. By Desiene and Morel
Ingredients:
4 ounces best-quality dark chocolate
1 tablespoon green pistachio nuts
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup blanched almonds
2-ounce strips of candied orange peel
Directions:
1. Place a sheet of acetate or waxed paper on a marble slab or other smooth, cold surface. Melt chocolate in a microwave oven or in a bowl over hot water.
2. Place a scant teaspoonful of melted chocolate on the sheet, and shape into a disk using the back of a spoon. Make several at a time so that the chocolate does not become too cool.
3. Place a pistachio, raisin, almond, and halved strip of orange peel on each disk, and leave to cool completely. The mendiants are ready when they come off the acetate or waxed paper with ease
