Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 ºF (190 ºC). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) overhang.
Spread nuts in a thin layer on a baking sheet or pie plate; bake for about 5 min or until lightly toasted. Let cool completely.
In small saucepan, heat cream just until boiling. Pour 1/2 cup (125 mL) into a heatproof bowl with bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 cup (60 mL) into a separate heatproof bowl with white chocolate. Stir butter into white chocolate mixture. Stir both chocolates until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
Sprinkle nuts on bottom of lined pan; pour three-quarters of the dark chocolate mixture evenly over nuts. Refrigerate for about 5 min or until slightly firm. Drizzle white chocolate mixture over dark layer; dollop remaining dark chocolate on top. With tip of knife, swirl two layers slightly to give a marbled effect. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Remove from pan and cut into bars.
Tips
If chocolates do not melt completely when cream is added, place each bowl over a pan of hot, not boiling, water and stir until melted.
