Seriously Good Improvisational Chocolates

About 1-1/2 cups chunky embellishments, in any combination, such as:

Nuts such as pistachios, pine nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts, roasted and coarsely chopped. (Spanish Marcona almonds are terrific with a dusting of smoky paprika and some flaky sea salt.)

Dried fruit such as raisins, currents, or cherries. (Dried cherries are terrific in semisweet chocolate with a sprinkling of black pepper or lavender.

Toasted coconut

Candy bars, such as peanut butter cups, peppermint patties, nut brittle, nougat or torrone, diced or coarsely chopped

Candied orange peel or crystallized ginger, chopped or diced (these are potent and should be used sparingly

Herbs or spices , such as lavender (unsprayed), curry powder, garam masala, pimenton de la vera (sweet, smoky paprika), freshly ground pepper, Mexican cinnamon (figure about a scant 1/2 teaspoon)

Flaky sea salt or fleur de sel
