Method
At home: put all the spices into a small container.
At camp: melt the butter in a pot or pan (for which you have a cover) and chop the fruit into little cubes. Tip into the melted butter and add the spices. Cook the mix for about 10 minutes on a medium-low heat with the lid on until the fruit pieces are soft and starting to fall away around the edges. Add a splash of water if the liquid disappears or it starts to stick. Spoon the fruit mix into two bowls, dot some chocolate over and sprinkle the muesli, coconut and nuts on top.
