These Chocolate lovers’ delights are a delicious mixture of nuts and dried fruits.

To add some tang to these scrumptious treats, we have added some homemade orange marmalade. Recipe also includes steps to make homemade orange marmalade though you can also use store bought semi-sweet orange marmalade.
