1. Line a pan 7 x 11 inch square with parchment paper. (or and 8 x 8 pan)
2. Process in bursts all of the fruits and nuts with the food processor. 
3. Add the honey and process some more thoroughly.
4. Firmly press the fruit and nut mixture into the prepared pan to a depth of about 3/4 inch.
5. Carefully microwave the chocolate to melt, then spread over the fruit/nut mixt. 
6. Cover and place pan in refrigerator to harden.
7. Cut the candy into 1-inch squares and place in mini-muffin cup papers.
