Citrus and spice essential oils enhance the flavour of this fruit and nuts creation. Coconut and plenty of butter add a chewy texture, while cardamom and cinnamon lend mellow warmth. Glistening jewel-toned dried fruits, nuts and dark and white chocolate paint this dessert in holiday hues! (Bit poetic...its been that sort of a year!) Enjoy.
