Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1/2 package vanilla candy coating or candy wafers
- 1/2 cup dried fruit, chopped into small pieces ex: dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins
- 2 tbsp holiday sprinkles use more or less, as desired
- 1/4 cup mini or dehydrated marshmallows
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Place the vanilla candy coating or wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt slowly in short bursts, about 30 seconds at a time, to prevent burning. Use a heat-resistant spatula to stir the melted candy coating, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. Continue to microwave in 15-30 second increments, stirring until smooth and completely melted.
- Once smooth, pour melted candy coating onto your cookie sheet. With your spatula, smooth the candy coating out.
- Add the dried fruit, holiday sprinkles, marshmallows and any additional toppings to the top of the melted chocolate.
- Allow the candy to harden for about 30 minutes. You can speed up the process by placing the cookie sheet into the refrigerator.
- Once the candy has set, break it into smaller pieces. Package into a cute box for gift giving or store in a covered container.
