Ingredients and Variations
WHITE CHOCOLATE: Choose good quality white chocolate, and avoid white chocolate chips as they won’t melt properly. Find bars or candy melts made with white chocolate and cocoa butter. Milk or dark chocolate will work as well but won’t look as dramatic as white chocolate does. And it’s perfect for tinting with food coloring too! The possibilities are endless!
MIX-INS: Any combination of dried fruits like cherries, mangoes, or peaches can be mixed and matched with almonds, macadamia nuts, granola, or coconut. Crushed potato chips, pretzel rods, and cookies like Oreos or Nutter Butter also make perfect mix-ins. Feel free to substitute the ingredients to match the occasion: crushed peppermint candy canes for Christmas, red hots for Valentine’s Day, pastel-colored discs for Easter, and the list goes on!
