Notes
Always check your microwave power, as melting times may vary between models. For a crunchier texture, allow the mix to cool longer before breaking it into pieces. Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweet and salty flavor balance. Mix in different candies or dried fruit to make the snack mix your own. Store the snack mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
