Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snack combining creamy white chocolate, tangy dried mango, crunchy nuts, and seeds for a perfect on-the-go treat that tastes like a beach day in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or bar
  • 1 cup (150 g) dried mango chunks, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 1 cup (140 g) mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans), lightly toasted
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread mixed nuts and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  2. Roughly chop dried mango chunks into bite-sized pieces if large.
  3. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth, or melt gently over a double boiler. Avoid overheating.
  4. In a large bowl, combine toasted nuts, sunflower seeds, dried mango pieces, and toasted coconut flakes if using. Add a pinch of sea salt.
  5. If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mix and stir to coat evenly.
  6. Pour melted white chocolate over the trail mix mixture and stir gently but quickly to coat everything evenly before the chocolate sets.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the mixture evenly to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness using a spatula.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes or until firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from tray and break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

Toast nuts and seeds for extra flavor and crunch. Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid seizing. Work quickly when mixing and spreading the bark before chocolate sets. Store bark airtight to prevent fridge odors. Can substitute nuts with seeds for nut-free version and dried mango with other dried fruits like pineapple or apricots.
