Ingredients
  • 4 ounces best-quality dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon green pistachio nuts
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup blanched almonds
  • 2-ounce strips of candied orange peel

Directions
  1. Place a sheet of acetate or waxed paper on a marble slab or other smooth, cold surface. Melt chocolate in a microwave oven or in a bowl over hot water.
  2. Place a scant teaspoonful of melted chocolate on the sheet, and shape into a disk using the back of a spoon. Make several at a time so that the chocolate does not become too cool.
  3. Place a pistachio, raisin, almond, and halved strip of orange peel on each disk, and leave to cool completely. The mendiants are ready when they come off the acetate or waxed paper with ease
