Make the Chocolate Cups 10 Minutes
Fill a deep rimmed pan with water half way up and place it on the stove over a medium high heat. Place a glass bowl with the broken chocolate in the water. Turn down the heat to low as it begins to boil to prevent the water from coming out of the pan and into the bowl. Warning: Don't let the water boil over into the bowl as it will cause the chocolate to curdle. Once the chocolate starts to melt stir it with a spatula. As the chocolate is melting pull out a baking sheet and place 12 baking cupcake cups on the sheet. Once the chocolate melts place the nuts and dried fruit in a bowl and add to the mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the salt and mix again. Pour the chocolate mixture into each cup and squeeze the citrus over the top. Sprinkle any dried ingredient over the top according to the recipe. Finally place in the fridge. They are ready when they harden.
