Taza Chocolate Covered Nibs Trail Mix Recipe

Chocolate Covered Nibs 

67% Dark stone ground chocolate over nibs. Organic.

At first I taste sweet chocolate, then a definite fruity undertone, immediately followed by the pure chocolate nib flavor. The nib flavor lingers for quite some time. The crunch is addictive. Before the flavor leaves my mouth I am reaching for more.


I love these little guys. I often have a little tin of chocolate covered nibs hidden away in my purse for chocolate emergencies during the day.  No, I'm not addicted.


The fruity flavor I tasted in these nibs inspired me to make short and sweet recipe for trail mix which would also work well as a crunchy topping on a quick bread or even ice cream.

Chocolate Cherry Crunchy Mix

Taza 67% Chocolate Covered Nibs

Dried Pitted Tart Montmorency Cherries

Walnuts pieces, slightly toasted

Coconut

Mix almost equal amounts of all of the above ingredients favoring the ones you find most tasty. 

Enjoy as a trail mix type of snack to tame your sweet tooth or as a topping on your favorite food...maybe even oatmeal...oooh yes, chocolate is a breakfast food!  For all of you perfectionists who are just about to blow a gasket over the measurements...remember that cooking can be an art form and not an exact science.  It is ok...really it is.  Just give it a try.
