This is so simple and can be prepared an hour before you need it. I am using pistachios and cranberries for a traditional Christmas flavor but you can use any nut, seed and dried fruit combo that makes you happy!
All you need is some dairy free (Enjoy Life) 10 oz bag of chocolate chips, some lollipop sticks or even candy canes for a lollipop stick, any kind of dried fruit, seeds or nuts and parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate slowly in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, check it every 20 seconds and stir it until it can pour easily.
Be careful not to over cook or burn it. I would even add to the already melted chocolate some flavorings like orange or rum or mint. Just a smidge while stiring.
Then have all the nuts and fruit ready nearby maybe some non-parels or shots for color.
Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and pour the chocolate in a circle. Carefully add the stick make sure it is coated well. Drop the nuts and fruits onto the chocolate and stick, pop in the refrigerator to harden but don’t leave them there. When hardened you can wrap them and give them as gifts!
This is an anytime treat! Not just for holidays but you can certainly make them very festive!
