This sweet treat is the combination of two great outdoor treats, trail mix and chocolate bark creating a great snack or finger food for around the campfire.
This recipe creates a trail mix but can be substituted for your favorite trail mix or even a commercial product. Be careful not to use too many sweet ingredients otherwise the result will be oversweet.
The chocolate used is dark chocolate which provides a contrast to the sweet fresh fruits. Milk chocolate can also be used but has a tendency to melt easier in the outdoor environment and create a bark that is too sweet.
