Reserving a few of everything for garnish, place anise seeds and whatever dried fruits and nuts you are using (add seeds if you are nut free) onto a silpat mat.
Temper chocolate by placing 300g into Thermomix bowl and milling 10 sec/speed 9. Scrape down sides of bowl and melt 10 min/37ºC/speed 1. Increase heat to 50ºC and melt 2 min/speed 1.
Add remaining 100g of chocolate pieces and stir for 2 min/speed 1 or until all chocolate has melted.
Pour over arranged fruit and nuts evenly so that they are covered.
If you wish to add the white chocolate swirl as shown, melt a few white chocolate melts in the microwave, and dollop onto the chocolate before it sets. Use a toothpick or chopstick to swirl through. Then finish with the reserved fruits and nuts for garnish.
Chill until firm and break into pieces.
This is a sweet snack full of chewy fruit and crunchy nuts, perfect to nibble or wrap as a gift.
