Step 1

Line mini muffin cups with paper liners. Put the butter in a heat proof bowl set over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water. Cover butter with chopped chocolate and heat; stirring occasionally until the mixture is melted, thick and creamy.=.

Toss the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and pour the chocolate sauce over them. Gently mix everything together until it is all coated in chocolate.
