(click here for
printer-friendly version)
4 servings

These “nachos” make a festive party dessert for the holidays.  They’re yummy, easy and fun, and more nutritious than many of the holiday standards.

    12 Food Should Taste Good Chocolate Chips (These are tortilla-style chips that have added cocoa.  They are not at all like semisweet chips and are not sweet.)  Or your favorite tortilla chips.

    Pandora’s Miracle Low-Fat Sauce (Recipe below)*

    12 mini marshmallows
    2 oz. pecans, almonds, pistachios &/or walnuts, coarsely chopped
    2 oz. dried cherries, blueberries, cranberries, or whatever dried fruit you like.  You may even use dates.
    1 oz. white chocolate, grated

Arrange the chips on a microwaveable plate. Put a half teaspoonful of sauce on each chip then arrange some dried fruit and nuts on each chip. Add a marshmallow to each chip and sprinkle grated white chocolate over all. Microwave for just 10 to 15 seconds, or heat them under a broiler for about a minute, just to puff up the marshmallows.  In either case, watch carefully to make sure the marshmallows don’t explode or get over browned. Serve immediately
