Ingredients
150g mix of your choice of: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashews, pecans, pistachios, chopped dried apricot, raisins, dried cranberries, dried sour cherries
150g caster sugar
100g milk or dark chocolate chips

Method
Butter a baking tray
Mix together your chosen fruit, nuts and seeds in a medium saucepan
Add the sugar and stir together over a medium heat for 10 minutes until the sugar has melted and caramelised
Quickly tip onto the baking tray, press down a little and leave to set—it won’t fill the whole tray

Once everything has set, bash it up on the baking tray with a rolling pin to make little clusters
