Real Food Travel Recipe: Dark Chocolate Trail Mix Bites

April 11, 2016 Mckenzie Hettman

I'm flying to Texas this week and decided I was going to skip paying a million dollars for airport food. The last time I relied on airport restaurants for my meals I ended up eating a muffin in the morning and a bagel in the evening. I felt fatigued the whole day and regretted it later. I'm prepared for the entire day of traveling this time! I will be sharing my seven essential snacks for airport travel later this week so stay tuned!

Prep time: 10 minutes | Time to set: 5 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes | Yields: 18- 20 bites


Ingredients

  • 6 oz bar of dark chocolate
  • Dried fruit (raisins, apricots, dates, mango, banana, etc) 
  • Raw unsalted nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, etc)
  • Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, poppy seeds, etc)
  • Shredded coconut- optional 

Method 

  1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside. 
  2. Melt the chocolate over low heat in a saucepan until smooth.
  3. Once the chocolate has melted to a soft and smooth liquid, scoop small spoonfuls onto the wax paper. Mine probably measured just under a tablespoon for each spoonful. Begin topping the chocolate bites once all the chocolate has been scooped out of the saucepan.
  4. Since they are small I put one almond, one raisin, one pistachio, and a sprinkle of chia and golden flax seeds on each bite. I listed some examples of toppings you could put on your bites in the ingredient list. They are easy to customize- get creative! :) 
  5. After you add your toppings, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes to stabilize the chocolate. 
  6. Remove from the freezer once the chocolate has hardened again. Enjoy or store in the refrigerator for later. 

Notes

  • I store them in the refrigerator although it's not necessary unless your house is super warm... Store these bites like you would any other bar of chocolate.

Pulled pork verde stuffed avocados😍😋
Try this garlic artichoke dip if you’re hosting/attended a Super Bowl party🏈 My recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthy twist👍 P.S This recipe has only received extremely positive feedback and hundreds of people have made it (thanks Pinterest)🙃 #superbowl

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

Huckleberry scones😋 #summereats
This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
