Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pretzel sticks (broken into smaller pieces)
- 0.75 cup mixed nuts (peanuts, almonds, or cashews work well)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted (approximately 2-3 cycles).
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the mini marshmallows, pretzel sticks, mixed nuts, and dried cranberries or raisins until everything is evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in tablespoon-sized clusters, spacing them apart slightly.
If desired, sprinkle the clusters lightly with sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate hardens. For faster results, you can refrigerate them for 30 minutes.
Once set, transfer the Campers Candy to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy this easy and portable treat on your next adventure or as a quick dessert at home!
