A lot of times I am asked, “What is the difference between CandiQuik and almond bark, candy melts, wafers, etc.?”.

Well, a lot! Truly. Candiquik is naturally flavored with all natural ingredients for one. Dos, Candiquik uses very fine sugar particles – this will come out in the taste. It will not give you that grainy texture, if you know what I’m talking about. Candiquik also uses more milk products & more cocoas – which also becomes very apparent in the taste. It tastes good…not like wax or something similar.  It also comes packaged in this nice little tray; simply remove the overwrap and melt. Forget cleaning melted chocolate out of a bowl!

*Okay, I’m done*.

If you like cranberries and orange, you will love this recipe – if you can even call it that.

It’s so easy to pull together and can literally be made in 15 minutes…that’s including prep time!

This stuff…for real. Forget a relish tray, you need a cranberry orange pecan bark tray. Or both, both is good.

Oh yeah, it gets even better. No dishes.

Line your 13×9″ pan with parchment (or wax) paper.

Arrange graham crackers across the bottom of the pan.

Grab an orange. Wash it. Zest it.

Melt Vanilla Candiquik in tray, as directed on package.

Stir orange zest directly into the tray of Vanilla Candiquik.

Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of pure orange extract.

This stuff is potent, so for less of an orange flavor, use 1/8 teaspoon. I like orange, and I was fine with the 1/4 teaspoon.

Pour mixture evenly across the top of graham crackers, using the back of your spoon to smooth out.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans and dried cranberries.

Done and done.
