Change out the chocolate as you wish.

Change out the dried fruit as you wish.

Fall anew with blessings..

Ingredients
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (50% cacao Dark Chocolate Hershey's Chipits)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 5 oz or 2 1/2 cups chow main noodles (the dried, crunchy kind found in the Asian food section)
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted, salted almonds
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • heaping 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • sea salt
Instructions
  1. Line two baking sheets with silpat liner or parchment paper. Measure out all ingredients in advance. Pour chocolate chips into a large saucepan and heat gently over low heat, being careful not to simmer or boil or allow moisture to get into your chocolate. Stir continuously while melting the chocolate. Then fold in all remaining ingredients. Using two tablespoons, scoop and mound on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch a little sea salt and sprinkle over the top of each cookie. Refrigerate or leave at room temperature until chocolate has set. Store in an airtight container or keep refrigerated.
Notes

You can use any type of chocolate for these. Other substitutions for dried fruit might be any combination of craisins, apricots, raisins, mango, etc.
