Tropical Bars
Tropical Bites
This is an easy Tropical Chocolate recipe for bites or bars, that you can tweak for your own  tastes.  These are non bake and will set like chocolate.  It's your choice whether you want to make them bars or bites.

My Ingredients:
​2x 250g white chocolate blocks
1x 250g block of dark chocolate
Other Ingredients - you will not use the full pack amounts of these. Tweak the amounts to your taste.
Rockmelon fruit jerky
Mango fruit jerky
Mixed citrus peel
Passionfruit curd
Coconut Ice
Brandy Snaps or Baskets
Other options: Crystalized ginger, dried pineapples.
Dried bananas instead of Brandy snaps or baskets is also nice.

RECIPE
Chop up brandy snaps or baskets to little crunchy bits.  These will stay crunchy so don't make them too big. I chopped up 2 brandy baskets.
Melt dark chocolate.  I do it in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, then stir, then another 20 seconds.  Add brandy bits to melted chocolate.   Line a tray with baking paper and pour and spread out the dark chocolate and brandy bits as a bottom layer.  Chill in fridge while doing the next step.

Chop up dried fruits.  Mine are the rockmelon and mango.  I chopped up most of the packets.
Melt white chocolate and mix in rockmelon and mango. Then pour and spread out over dark chocolate layer.
Dollop a few teaspoons of Passionfruit curd over white chocolate and swirl in.

Quarter the coconut ice and sprinkle them on top.  Press them in slightly.
Sprinkle over citrus peel.  I don't like too much, just a bit of tanginess to contrast with the sweetness, but if you want more, add more.
I finally drizzle over a little bit more dark chocolate and swirl again, but it looks nice without doing this too.  
Chill in fridge until just set.  Bring out and slice into bars or bites.  Put back in chiller to set for a little while more, and then you can leave out and store in pretty Masu boxes or in cookie tins.
