Ingredients
  

  • 750-1000 grams almond bark, (1 1/2 - 2 lbs)
  • 500 grams trail mix, your favorite kind, (1 lb / about 4 cups)
  • candy sprinkles, optional, just to add some color

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Setup a double boiler, add the bark.
  • While the bark is melting, open the bag of trail mix (I used a 1 lb / 500 g bag and it measured out to just over 4 cups) and place on a plate or shallow bowl so you can grab handfuls of this. The mix I used is just chopped walnuts, dried apple and cranberries, and raisins.
  • Heat until the bark is all melted and smooth.
  • Pour the bark onto the parchment. Gently shake the pan around while tilting it to spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle trail mix evenly over the bark. Use the bottom of a drinking glass, or I just used the bottom of the measuring cup I used, and justly tap down the mix, you are just making sure everything is in the bark.
  • Top with sprinkles if desired to add bit of color.
  • Allow the bark to cool and it will set up. Break bark up into large chunks. Enjoy as a snack or a dessert.
  • I made this again on 6 Aug 2020, and used vanilla almond bark. Perfect.

Notes

I will price this when I get home, for now I will say Fair cost per serving. A lot depends on the type of trail mix used as well.
Variants: 1. Use vanilla or chocolate almond bark. 2. Use any type of trail mix you prefer, just keep the weight to 500 g / 1 lb.
