Ingredients

1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 cups chocolate morsels, (about 1 1/2 (12-ounce) bags)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 tangerine, zested

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.

Lay out almond slivers on baking sheet. Bake in oven until light brown, shaking the baking pan occasionally to mix them around, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Melt the chocolate morsels in a double boiler over low heat. Mix in the cranberries, almond slivers and tangerine zest.

Pour into prepared pan. Smooth the chocolate mixture out into an even layer. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until hard, at least 1 hour. Use a knife to break up chocolate into jagged, varied sized bars.

Thank you for this easy , delicious recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these for get togethers on various occasions and everybody loved them! I used walnuts instead of almonds and used... orange/ lemon zest instead of tangerine and they taste great! I love the citrus and chocolate combination. Dont feel bad about eating these chocolate bars at all :)Read more

Easy and Incredibly Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been holding onto this recipe since I saw it on Dave's show in February. I finally made it for a big family dinner and... I'm so glad I did! Its incredibly easy (I made two batches, one with milk chocolate and one with dark chocolate). It tastes AMAZING!! Its so delicious and the cranberries and tangerine zest make it really refreshing and not heavy at all. It was a big hit and I'll definitely be making it again for parties and dinners. (hint: I was able to make it for even less money by buying my ingredients in the bulk section at the market.)Read more

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

GGGGRRRREEAATT RECIPE! First time I made this though, I messed up and took the chocolate off of the heat before adding the... other ingredients. Chocolate "seized" and I ended up with a huge ball of chocolate that ended up in the trash. Tried it last night, kept it on the heat, PERFECT. Almonds definately toast faster than recommended....may try raisins, dried apricots, peppermint oil, pecans, walnuts, etc. next time. The "possibilities" are endless with this recipe!!!!Read more

Exquisite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these chocolate bars for my daughter for Valentine's Day. They were awesome. They were so creamy and the tangerine... flavor was the perfect complement to the chocolate and cranberries. I'm not going to wait until next Valentine's Day to make them again. Nice job, Dave!Read more
