Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Nuts - almonds, cashews and peanuts. I like using roasted & salted versions of nuts in this recipe. If you prefer to use raw, they work well and taste great too. There are an equal amount (10 ounces) of each nut. You can substitute your favorite nuts for the ones included like shelled pistachios, walnuts or pecans.
- Dried Fruit - cranberries & cherries. These are my family's favorite dried fruits. You can substitute your favorites like raisins, or chopped up dates or figs.
- Chocolate. this recipe uses a combination of coated chocolate candies and chocolate chips. You can choose to use all of one or no chocolate at all.
-
- Chocolate candies. M&Ms are the most common choice here. I prefer the unreal milk chocolate gems. You can also use mini peanut butter cups if you'd like.
-
- Chocolate chips. chocolate chunks work well. Or, if you're worried about melting, use all chocolate candies and no chocolate chips.
- 4 ounce glass jars with lids
- Silicone storage bags
- Snack-size plastic bags
- 4 ounce plastic containers
