Method

  1. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases or cut out 12 squares of baking paper, each slightly larger than the muffin hole. Scrunch up, then unfold and use to line the tin holes.
  2. Melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave for 1-2 mins or melt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.
  3. Divide two-thirds of the chocolate between the muffin holes and top with the raisins and cranberries, pistachios (saving a little to garnish) and almonds.
  4. Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 secs until runny and smooth, then drizzle over the fruit and nuts. Top with the remaining chocolate, then sprinkle over the reserved pistachios. Chill in the fridge for 2 hrs or until set. Remove from the paper cases.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
