Method
- Break up the chocolate and melt in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Set aside for 5-8 mins to set slightly; you want it a little thicker than when just melted.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a serving spoon, spoon out onto the paper to make 12 discs. While the chocolate is still soft, stud each one with a nut or two, a piece of dried fruit and a few strawberry-infused apple pieces; top with a chunk of crystallised ginger. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes, if using. Pop them in the fridge to set (about 20 mins), before serving on a platter.
- Make ahead: You can prepare these up to a day ahead.
