 Ingredients -
  
Chocolate - 230 g (bitter sweet, dark cooking chocolate)
Almonds - 120 g
Raisins - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Castor sugar - 1 tsp

Method -
 
1. Take a deep bottomed heavy pan and roast the
    almonds in it on a slow flame until its crunchy.
    It will take around 30 -45 minutes to roast it.
    Break the almonds in two pieces or ground it
    very coarsely when it has roasted.
2. Break the chcolate in small pieces so that it
    melts easily.
3. Take a double boiler and melt the chocolate
    completely in it, stirring it continuously. Add 2 tbsp
    sugar and the raisin in it when the chocolate melts.
4. Temper the chocolate. Place the bowl of melted
     chocolate into a bowl with ice water, and stir
     slowly but constantly. Once it begins to thicken,
     crystallization or "tempering" occurs, take it out
     from the cold water. Place the bowl over the
     pot of warm water, the trick is to warm it again
     without losing the tempering. Take it off the warm
     water as soon as it loosen up the chocolate a bit.
5. Add half of the roasted almonds, mix it nicely
    with a spatula in the chocolate, add the remaining
    half and mix all thoroughly.
6. Take a butter paper or grease an aluminum foil, 
    place it over a plate, Pour the chocolate and almond
    mix quickly over it before it starts setting in. Spread it
    in the shape of a bar on the foil. If the chocolate isn't
    setting after 6 minutes, then place in the fridge for 2-3
    minutes to speed things up.
7. Cut it in pieces and sprinkle castor sugar over it,
    serve it and NJOY it with kids, family members and 
    of course with guests too, everybody is simply going
    to love it.
