Ingredients

  • 12 oz chocolate-flavored candy coating, cut up
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped cashews
  • 12 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), cut up
  • 3/4 cup dried tropical three-fruit mix (from 7-oz bag)

Steps

  • 1
    Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate coating on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Stir in cashews. Spread in thin 12x9-inch rectangle on cookie sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes.

    In another 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave vanilla coating on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Stir in 1/2 cup of the dried fruit. Quickly and carefully spoon and quickly spread half of the vanilla mixture over half of the chocolate layer (edges may not be completely covered). Repeat spreading remaining vanilla mixture over remaining chocolate layer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup dried fruit evenly over top; press in lightly.

    Let stand about 30 minutes or until completely cooled and set. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Store covered at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The tropical fruit mix contains dried mango, papaya and pineapple. If this mix isn’t available, you can often find individual packages of each fruit, or you could use another mixture of dried fruit.
  • tip 2
    Be sure the chocolate layer is very cold when you add the vanilla layer so the chocolate doesn’t melt and mix with the vanilla layer.
