--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      ounces        semisweet chocolate chips
   1      cup           roasted unsalted cashews or
                        toasted blanched almonds
     1/2  cup           butter -- cut up

In a small heavy saucepan, melt chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly
until chocolate begins to melt.  Immediately remove the chocolate from heat;
stir until smooth.  Cool slightly.

Place nuts in a food processor or blender; cover and process or blend until
nuts are very finely chopped, stopping and scraping the sides as necessary.
 Add butter; process or blend until nearly smooth.  Transfer mixture to a
bowl; stir in melted chocolate.  Serve at room temperature.  Use to spread on
croissants, muffins or biscuits.  Makes 1 cup.
