Sweet and Salty Chocolate Snack Mix
A mixture of dried cherries, almonds, and potato chips - all enrobed in velvety dark chocolate - makes up this sweet and savory chocolate snack mix.
Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped into fine pieces
- 1/4 cup dried cherries (or dried fruit of choice, cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1/4 cup almonds (or nut of choice)
- 12-15 ruffle potato chips
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Place 2/3 of the chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing well between each interval, until all the chocolate is completely melted.
- Once melted, add the remaining 1/3 of the chocolate into the melted chocolate and stir well until completely melted and smooth.
- Start with the potato chips. Dip about 1/2 to 1/3 of each chip in the chocolate, then set aside on the lined baking sheet. Then dip the almonds and cherries. I do this using about five cherries or almonds at a time, putting them into the bowl of melted chocolate and using a fork to turn them and coat them completely. Then use the fork to remove them one by one, shaking off the excess chocolate, and set on the lined baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate snacks to set until the chocolate is firm, 20-30 minutes at room temperature or 10-20 minutes in the fridge. Once set, gently mix the components together. Store in an air tight container in a cool dark place.
