  • 1.25 cups white sugar
  • 0.75 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
  • 0.5 cup candied mixed fruit, chopped
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 0.25 cup orange juice
  • 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoons orange juice
  • 0.25 cup green decorator sugar
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon red hot candies

Instructions

  • Combine sugar, honey and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, stir together the honey mixture with the chocolate chips, almonds, candied fruit, eggs, and orange juice. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, baking soda and baking powder; stir into the fruit and nut mixture. Tightly cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days to blend the flavors.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool and frost with the orange frosting.
  • To make the orange frosting, put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl, and beat in the orange juice 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Spread over the cooled bars. Cut bars into diamond shapes, and place cinnamon candies on top then sprinkle with the green sugar.
