No-Bake Christmas Treats

I am in a frenzy whipping up homemade Christmas treats for my Christmas Cookie Exchange party this weekend.  This is one of the non cookie recipes I am making for my cookie exchange. I had to ease up on the cookie swap rules because most of my guests are non bakers.

I told them they could bring no-bake Christmas treats if they didn’t want to bake homemade cookies. Most of my guests are my oldest daughters friends. These girls have been around me since they were teenagers. They should all at least know how to bake some easy Christmas cookies by now.

I think they are being lazy. I am going to have to have a word with them. One of them, and I am not naming names said she was going to bring Jello-Shots when she heard she could bring a non-bake Christmas treat. That one is the craziest of the bunch

They crack me up most of the time. They are all always saying “Arlene, when are you going to cook (fill in the blank) for me?” It is usually a recipe they have seen me share on my blog.

I love to tell them go to my blog and print out the recipe so you can make it yourself. They don’t like to hear that. They want “Mom” to make it for them.

These Crock Pot Chocolate Dried Fruit Nut Clusters are so easy to make. All you need is some chocolate bark, dried fruit and some nuts. I used a can of Girl Scout Cranberry & Nut Mix I bought from one of two of my granddaughters who are in the Girls Scouts.

You can substitute any brand of your favorite dried fruit and nut mix you like. I wouldn’t use one that has m&m’s in it though as they will melt and bleed colors from their candy coating shell.

How to Make Crock Pot Dried Fruit-Nut Clusters

• 20 oz block Chocolate Almond Bark
• 1 cup dried fruit and nut mix
• 1/2 cup dried cherry Craisens
• 1/2 Pecan halves, roughly chopped

1. Place the Almond bark into a 2 or 4 quart crock pot set on low.
2. Heat until melted, occasionally stirring.
3. Once the Almond bark has melted and there are no longer any large lumps add the dried fruit and nut mix, dried cherry Craisens and pecan pieces to the crock pot. Mix until well combined.
4. Using a small cookie scoop drop scoops of the cluster mix onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment or wax paper.
5. Allow to harden.
6. Store candy in an air tight container or individual cellophane bags tied with a ribbon for Christmas.
7. Makes about 40 pieces.
