Recipe for Chocolate and Pistachio Kiwiberries

This is more of a serving suggestion than a proper recipe - the quantities aren't very exact here!

50g of good quality dark chocolate
10 - 15 kiwiberries
1 tbsp pistachio nuts, finely chopped
a tiny knob of butter (optional - this gives the chocolate coating a bit more of a gloss)
Cocktail sticks (for dipping and drying)

Melt the chocolate in the microwave (carefully, burnt chocolate smells really nasty) or over hot water add the butter if using.

Place a kiwiberry on a cocktail stick and dip into the molten chocolate.
Sprinkle with chopped pistachio (you can skip this stage and leave a few plain if you like).

Now you have to find a way of keeping the berries blemish free while they dry. I recommend taking something like half a potato or an old unwanted tangerine and sticking the free end of the cocktail sticks into that. You know, like when you used to make a big hedgehog of pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks...

Continue until you run out of berries or chocolate and allow to dry.
