If you need a recipe to mix up your lunchbox or snack game – this could be the one! Anything that starts with chocolate and orange is one to good things. I reckon these would be pretty delicious crumbled over yoghurt if you’re in need of a speedy breakfast or something on-the-go. If raisins aren’t your thing, you could try using chopped dried apricots or dates?
