Notes

  • You can use other nuts such as pistachios, almonds, pecans as well as other dried fruit. However, the ones I used have the highest nutritional value.
  • You can store chocolate fruit and nut clusters in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for about 2 weeks. If it is warm in your house or where you live you place them in the refrigerator.
  • Yes you can, once the clusters are set, you can store them to a freezer bag or container and put them in the freezer. They will keep for up to 3 months.
