This irresistible trail mix is a harmonious fusion of flavours that will satisfy your cravings with every handful.COOKING METHOD: Stovetop (optional)
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Metal or glass mixing bowl
- 1 cookie sheet, container or muffin tins (see instruction step 5)
- parchment paper
Ingredients
To make cinnamon white chocolate:
- 50 g white or blonde chocolate
- ¼-½ tsp cinnamon
For trail mix:
- ¼ cup pecan halves, about 6-8
- ¼ cup almonds, about 10-12
- 8 banana chips
- 1 tbsp dried blueberries
- 1 tbsp cinnamon white chocolate, (recipe includes how to make)
Instructions
- 1. Combine all ingredients in a bag or container and enjoy!
To make Cinnamon White Chocolate:
- 1. Chop the chocolate into fine chunks. Set aside.
- 2. Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Place the bowl on top of the simmering water. Note: The bowl should not be touching the water - remove some water if necessary.
- 3. Pour chocolate into the bowl. Over the gently simmering water, heat the chopped chocolate, stirring occasionally, until 3/4 melted. Be careful to not completely melt and overheat.
- 4. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. Stir in the cinnamon until well combined.
- 5. Pour mixture into onto parchment lined pan or container (lined muffin tins also work). You want the chocolate to be spread, but not too thin - aim for about ¼" thick.
- 6. Chill in fridge until hardened (about 30 minutes)
- 7. Chop chocolate into chunks
- Note: you will have more chocolate than needed for a single serving of trail mix recipe (50g of chocolate yields about 4 tbsp of chopped chocolate)
Notes
- You can skip making cinnamon white chocolate and just use plain white chocolate, however, the touch of cinnamon is well worth it.
- Make your own dehydrated fruit if you can! Learn how here: Dehydrating 101 - Learning the Basics
