Look for a slot where you can insert and remove film. If you are using a classic Polaroid, then there may already be a cartridge of film loaded into the camera. If you care about preserving any photographs on the film, then remove the cartridge in a darkroom (or a pitch-black space) and immediately store it in a box or bag where it will not receive any exposure to UV light. If you don't care about the film, then you can simply pop out the old cartridge and throw it away. Hold it by the sides. Then, slide the film into the film compartment. The cartridge should slide in easily, and then pop securely into place. The metal contacts should be facing down, the dark slide should be facing up, and tab should be facing out of the camera slot toward you. Once the film is properly inserted, shut the film compartment to complete the loading process. The dark slide should automatically eject from the front of the camera.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While the chocolate or chocolate mixture is still melting, stir in a few spoonfuls of peanut butter until the mixture is smooth again. This will add a delicious hint of peanut butter to your finished chocolate bars. Sprinkle a little finely ground sea salt over your chocolate bars immediately after pouring them into the molds. The salt will add a little more complexity to your bars, as well as enhancing the deliciously pure chocolate flavor. In a dry frying pan, lightly toast some peanuts, almonds, coconut, or whatever other types of nut you like. Scatter them over the bottom of your chocolate molds before pouring in your chocolate for an extra nutty crunch when biting in your finished chocolate bars. Finely cut up a few chunks of your dried fruit of choice and place one or two pieces into each chocolate mold. This will help balance out the richness of your chocolate, as well as adding a freshness to cut through some of the sweetness. Apricots, cherries, cranberries, or figs would all be excellent additions to your chocolate bars. Make sure not to use anything with a high water content, as this can cause your chocolate to seize and become unworkable.
Summary:
Mix peanut butter into the melted chocolate for some subtle nuttiness. Add some sea salt for a sweet and salty taste. Mix in some toasted nuts for an extra crunch. Add some dried fruit to your chocolate for a tangy chew.
