- Let dark chocolate layer set for 15 minutes at room temperature until no longer tacky.
- Melt white chocolate chips in clean bowl using same method as dark chocolate.
- Pour white chocolate over set dark layer and spread gently to avoid disturbing bottom.
- Immediately sprinkle cashews, cranberries, and candied orange evenly over soft white chocolate.
