Preparation

Step 1

Blend dried fruits to form a thick sticky paste. Add the almonds and oats/flour and pulse lightly to mix through.
Spoon small teaspoon sized dollops of the mixture into small petit-four cases (or in ice cube trays).
To prepare the chocolate drizzle, place all ingredients in a small bowl and microwave on medium power for approx 90 seconds or until full melted. Stir through and lightly drizzle across the top of each mound, the mixture will pool in the bottom of each case. Add a few extra nuts if desired.
Chill to set until serving.
