Description: For Macro Mondays: DIY Petite chocolate bites topped with pistachios, raisins, almonds, and orange make for a very grown-up candy. 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 INSTRUCTIONS 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. www.chow.com/recipes/10080
