Directions
Step 1
Prepare a flat baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the cocoa butter, stirring occasionally, until it is completely melted and smooth.

Once the cocoa butter is melted, lower the heat and add the cocoa powder, whisking until it is fully incorporated and smooth.

Pour the honey into the melted mixture, and whisk until the honey is well combined.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, stirring to ensure everything is well blended.
Step 6
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes, not allowing it to solidify.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and diced apricots until they are well distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
Step 8
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to your preferred thickness.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
