These delicious snacks make wonderful gifts, and although they look and taste like they came from an expensive chocolate shop, they couldn't be more guilt-free. The dried fruit and nuts are heart-healthy and full of fiber. Bet you can't eat just one! &mdash;Alina Niemi, Honolulu, Hawaii

These were easy to put together and after one bite and I was hooked. Very good. I changed up a couple of the fruits. I used dried strawberries instead of the dried cherries. I omitted the pumpkin seeds and just increased the other things a little bit. I used dried mango instead of apricots. This is a very versatile recipe. You can use what you have on hand. A keeper.

I would definitely make this recipe again and again. Not only was it so easy, you can add any kind of nuts or dried fruit that you like. What a perfect gift for someone, and so good just for yourself!! A keeper.

Loved these, I've already made twice with white & dark chocolate. Great flavor! If you don't have one of the nuts or fruits just find a substitute or add more of the others. (I especially liked the blueberries, first time trying those) Thanks Alina!

Delicious!  Definitely will be making these a lot.  They freeze well.

These were very good but just a little to much chocolate.  I love chocolate but this was just over the top.  How could we cut back the chocolate?

Made this today with dark chocolate chips a prepackaged mix of dried cranberries, dried cherries, almonds walnuts and dry-roasted pistachios (what I already had on hand). It was awesome. I'm anxious to try the original recipe as well as other combinations. I made mine a tad bigger so I only got 36 pieces, but maybe with the bigger pieces we can stop with one. ;-) Not likely.

I read the ingredients-I will make it real soon with a few adjustments, as I like to improvise. It does ask for 2 cups semi-sweet choc., however, that would be 16 oz. as 1 cup is 8 oz. I would probably use the dark choc, toast the coconut, and use a little less dried fruit. I cannot wait to try it-sounds scrumptious!

Excellent recipe! So glad it was on here, as I couldn't find my Healthy Cooking magazine it was originally posted in! Thank you!*Instead of semi-sweet chips, I use milk chocolate chips.*

I would use milk chocolate next time instead of semi-sweet. I don't like apricots, so I substituted another dried fruit for that. They were yummy but a little messy to eat. Have a napkin handy!

These were vary easy to make and very good to eat. They did not last long around our house.

I didn't have all the different seeds, nuts

Love this! Made it twice already. Everyone who tastes them has to have the recipe. Of course I share. I added more dried fruits and it is excellent! Definately a 'Pot Luck' dessert.

These were very easy and good.  I used dates instead of cranberries, almonds instead of sunflower kernels, and walnuts for half of the cashews (and cherries, not blueberries).  That's what I had on-hand (strangely enough, I had pepitas).  These would work well with most any combination of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.  I got 40 servings.

These were WONDERFUL!!!! Going to try milk chocolate next time. My hubbie loved them...

I wanted to give it 5 stars when I sent my review but it didn't work...so there it is!

Loved this recipe,only problem is I can't stay away from them! Glad to hear they freeze well.

Excellent! And simple to make. I left out the coconut--just personal preference.

Next time I would use milk chocolate instead of semi- sweet.

My quilters loved it too but would use milk chocolate next time and leave out pumpkin seeds.
