Chocolate Cashew Spread

2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup unsalted cashews or toasted blanch 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 until
nuts are finely chopped, stopping and scraping the sides as necessary.
Add butter; process until nearly smooth.  Transfer mixture to a
bowl; stir in melted chocolate.  Serve at room temperature.  Use
spread on croissants, muffins or biscuits.
