I admit that I have a fondness for white chocolate even though I know it’s not the healthiest of treats. I rarely eat it which makes these treats extra special. I found some white chocolate chips inexpensively on Saturday, so I snagged a couple of bags. I decided to make these treats with some leftover dried cranberries and macadamia nuts that I had on hand. The measurements are approximate as I just added ingredients until I liked the results.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 – 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 – 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/2 tsp. coconut oil
Directions:
- Heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave for 1 minutes. Stir. Keep microwaving at 30 second intervals until melted and creamy. (You could also melt over a double-boiler if you don’t want to use a microwave.)
- Stir in macadamia nuts and dried cranberries.
- Place chocolate mixture in desired size “mounds” on parchment lined cookie sheets.
- Set aside in cool area to allow to firm up. Store in airtight container.
Notes:
- If you want a more refined look for these, just place the chocolate mixture into candy molds.
- Use other types of dried fruits or nuts for a different flavor profile. These taste yummy with dried cherries and pecans.
