Description
A delightful trail mix featuring creamy white chocolate, mixed nuts, and sweet dried fruits, perfect for celebrating love on Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, or pecans)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup heart-shaped candy sprinkles
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded coconut or mini pretzels
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Assemble all ingredients on your kitchen counter for easy access.
- Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add your mixed nuts, dried fruits, and heart-shaped candy sprinkles, and mix well.
- Pour in the chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the nut and fruit mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
- Let it cool: Spread the mixture onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate can harden.
- Break apart and serve: Once cooled, break the trail mix into clusters and serve it in vibrant bowls.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider toasting the nuts before adding them to the mix, and mix in a pinch of coarse sea salt to enhance flavors.
