Chocolate mendiants

Mendiants are traditional French chocolate buttons: a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits representing four monastic orders. They're a handy after-dinner treat and are very easy to make. Simply melt 2 cups dark chocolate and drop small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add chopped dried figs, raisins, almonds and hazelnuts (or citrus peel if you like) and refrigerate to cool before serving.
