Directions:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop dried fruits and nuts into small, bite-sized pieces to add a nutritious crunch.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and condensed milk in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. This creamy base ties the health benefits of nuts and fruits together for a delicious result.
3. Add Marshmallows & Vanilla: Stir in marshmallows and vanilla extract, adding a touch of sweetness while keeping your health goals in mind.
4. Mix in Fruits & Nuts: Fold in the mixed dried fruits and nuts. Rich in vitamins and healthy fats, these ingredients provide essential nutrients, supporting everything from heart health to managing blood pressure.
5. Pour into Pan: Spread the mixture into a parchment-lined 9×9 inch pan, ensuring even distribution.
6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. The cold helps solidify the bars without needing any unhealthy additives.
7. Cut into Bars: Once firm, cut the nougat into bars or squares for easy, portion-controlled snacks. Perfect for a mid-day boost or a post-dinner treat!
Enjoy these bars as a guilt-free treat, knowing they’re filled with ingredients that support overall wellness and can be part of a balanced diet. Remember, making informed choices about what we eat is key to maintaining long-term health and can complement any health insurance plan that emphasizes preventive care and healthy living.
