This is a straightforward recipe with just two ingredients, your favorite trail mix and almond bark. The trail mix I am using is just a combination of chopped walnuts, dried apple and cranberries, and raisins.

- 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
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.
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.
