Cranberry Almond Chocolate Bars With Tangerine Zest - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 cups chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 12oz. bags)

1/2 tangerine, zest of (you may sub orange zest)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400*F.
Line a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with foil.
Lay out almond slivers on baking sheet. Bake in oven until light brown, shaking the baking pan occasionally to mix, 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. Break up chocolate into jagged, varied sized pieces. Or you may pour circles of the chocolate mixture on the foil and let cool, then you don't have to break them up. :).
