Decadent Lemon Chocolate Oven-Baked Snack Mix
Ingredients
- 2 cups savory-sweet snack mix
- 1 Lindt chocolate bar (your choice of flavor), chopped
- 1 Lindor caramel milk chocolate bar, chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 fresh lemon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (about 150°C). This allows the snack mix to bake evenly without burning the chocolate.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- Combine the chopped Lindt chocolate bar, Lindor caramel milk chocolate bar, and butter in a heat-resistant mixing bowl.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water, creating a double boiler. Continuously stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Mix with Lemon:
- Add the fresh lemon juice and zest to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir well to fully incorporate the citrus flavors.
4. Combine with Snack Mix:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the chocolate mixture over the savory-sweet snack mix.
- Gently toss until all pieces of the snack mix are well-coated in the lemon chocolate blend.
5. Bake:
- Spread the chocolate-coated snack mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure it is an even layer for uniform baking.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking process to promote even coating and heat distribution.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the snack mix to cool completely on the sheet. This will help the chocolate harden and form a crisp coating.
- Once cooled, break apart any clusters and serve in a decorative bowl or store in an airtight container.
