    The Ingredients For White Christmas

    • white chocolate - because this is the main ingredient in this recipe, it's important to use a good quality white chocolate (such as Cadbury, Whittakers, Hersheys, Lindt or Nestle)... trust me - a good quality chocolate makes ALL the difference!! I recommend using cooking chocolate or chocolate melts as they melt the easiest.
    • dried cranberries - also known as craisins. These can be purchased from the dried fruit section of your supermarket.
    • toasted slivered almonds - you can buy raw slivered almonds and toast them in a frying pan over low heat on the stovetop, or you can purchase pre-toasted slivered almonds.
    • sultanas
    • desiccated coconut - this is a fine coconut that can be purchased in packets from the supermarket.
    • rice bubbles - or you can use any brand of puffed rice such as Rice Krispies.

    10 Minute Melt & Mix Recipe

    It couldn't be easier to make this recipe...

    Simply melt and white chocolate and stir through the add-ins! Too easy, right!?

    Let me walk you through the simple steps:

    Step 1 - Melt The Chocolate

    You can do this step in the microwave or Thermomix (as per my instructions below) or in a double boiler on the stovetop.

    Step 2 - Add The Remaining Ingredients

    Add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine until all of the dried fruits, nuts and Rice Bubbles are coated with the melted chocolate.

    Step 3 - Press Into Tin

    FAQ

    Can I use dark or milk chocolate?

    While White Christmas is traditionally made with white chocolate, you can substitute it with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer.

    Can this be added to food hampers at Christmas?

    Absolutely! As long as you don't live in a super hot climate, my White Christmas recipe will be fine being stored at room temperature in a hamper.

    Can I make this nut-free?

    Yes absolutely! Simply omit the almonds and coconut and replace with extra dried fruit.

    Can kids make this recipe?

    This is a fantastic recipe for kids to make! You will need to assist younger children with melting the chocolate, but apart from that, this is a great recipe for your little ones to make on their own!

      Can you use 2% milk? Or mix some half and half to 2% milk. I don’t have any whole milk
