Princess Kaitlyn's Kitchen: Ferbur's Special Treat

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Princess Kaitlyn who lived in a beautiful castle by an enchanted forest, a magical lake, and a fantastically fun playground. One day Princess Kaitlyn ventured into the forest and met a talking squirrel named Ferbur. He invited her to his grand ole tree house for nuts and tea. Princess Kaitlyn had such a nice visit with Ferbur that upon returning home, she decided to make him a special treat of nuts, dried fruit, and pretzels covered in white and dark chocolate. Yum!!

Ferbur's Special Treat

Ingredients

• Pretzels
• Dried fruit (cherries and raisins)
• Nuts (almonds and peanuts)
• Hershey's white chocolate chips
• Hershey's Special dark chocolate Chips (used here, but recommend white over these)

Instructions

• Melt the chocolate (separately if using two kinds) in a double boiler or in the microwave. While melting, mix the pretzels, dried fruit and nuts in a bowl. Pour/scrape the melted chocolate over the pretzels, nuts and fruit. Stir quickly before chocolate hardens and cover each piece with chocolate. Pour out onto a parchment lined baking sheet to harden - pour it flat, otherwise items dry on top of each other and stick. Place in refrigerator to harden chocolate. Place in air tight container after chocolate hardens.
  

Let's get started...

Princess Kaitlyn adding ingredients to the bowls and taking a little taste test.

After the chocolates hardened (placed in fridge), we mixed them together for Ferbur and Princess Kaitlyn to share. Granted Princess Kaitlyn's mommy and daddy also had several pieces of Ferbur's special treat.
Tip... the white chocolate tasted the best. If we make Ferber's special treat again, we'll either do all white chocolate or white and milk chocolate. The dark chocolate just wasn't as tasty (and we love dark chocolate in our house).
