storing info
STORE the finished white chocolate trail mix in an airtight container, or a ziploc bag at room temperature or in the fridge. It should last for 1-2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. FREEZE for up to 3 months. Note that the ingredients may thaw softer than when it’s freshly made, but the treat is still delicious to eat.
When melting in the microwave, use a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the bark for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the chocolate is smooth. Stovetop double boiler. Add water to a small pot. Place a slightly larger heat-proof bowl on the pot so the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Remove the bowl, bring the pot of water to boil, and reduce the heat to medium. Add chocolate to the bowl and place it on top of the pot. The steam from the water will heat the bowl, melting the chocolate. Stir until smooth. (Make sure that no water drips into the chocolate.)
