Dark Chocolate Mendiants

I cannot believe how easy these beautiful and heavenly disks come together.
Mimi is a huge inspiration to me and I learned about this easy recipe in her blog.
Mendiants are beautiful and terribly delicious. I am weak in the face of chocolate and this is no exception.

Makes about 12 Mendiants

Ingredients
10 ounces of good quality dark chocolate (I use Godiva)
A few unsalted pistachios, unsalted roasted almonds, pepitas and dry fruit of choice.
(I used left over pomegranate seeds from my mimosa brunch)

Place parchment paper over a flat surface or cookie sheet.

Place a glass or metal bowl over a simmering pot of hot water.
Add pieces of chocolate. Stir gently until completely melted.

Drop a small spoonful of melted chocolate into parchment paper to create small bite size disks.

Immediately decorate with nuts, dry fruit and any topping of your choice!

I think shredded coconut would be a great Christmas topping and maybe red walnuts.
Saw red walnuts at the farmers market today and was blown away.
Stay tuned, something with red walnuts is coming to this blog soon.
