    Drizzle the melted chocolate over the snack mix, and stir until well coated. Turn the mix out onto a large piece of wax paper, sprinkle with blue and red candies, then allow the white chocolate to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour to harden. To serve, break the mix up into large chunks.

  • If you like trail mix, you’re going to love this candy bark! It’s full of the tart, chewy flavor of dried fruit, the crunch of sunflowers, and the snack-worthy bite of Chex Mix™ snack mix. Delish!
  • Since microwave ovens vary, watch carefully when melting white vanilla baking chips to avoid burning.
  • Dried blueberries and cranberries can be found in the dried fruits and nuts section of most grocery stores.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
