There are sweet/salty/sour flavors in each pretty bite of this festive treat. Thanks to my friend Mary Frances, party-giver extraordinaire, for a recipe that's as visually appealing as it is tasty.
Combine 1/2 c. chopped macadamias, 1/2 c lightly toasted chopped pistachios, 1 cup dried tart cherries or cranberries, 1 c. pastel mini marshmallows, and 1 c. jellied sour candies -- such as Jelly Bellies -- cut or halved. Cut them even if they are much smaller than regular jelly beans--otherwise when you cut the candy whole pieces will fall out. Mix with 16 oz. melted white chocolate and spread evenly in a parchment-lined 9x9 pan. I've used both white chocolate chips and white candy bark. Cover and chill. Refrigeration is not necessary once set. It will need to come to room temperature later to slice neatly.
