- Zest from 1 orange (about 2 teaspoons)

- In a small saucepan filled with a few inches of water, with a glass or stainless steel bowl nestled atop, set over medium-low heat, add the white chocolate melting wafers and oil. Allow the chocolate to melt slowly and then stir it with a silicon spatula until smooth. Remove it from the heat and then add the vanilla bean seeds, zest from the orange, lemon and kosher salt; stir it until combined.
- Pour the melted white chocolate mixture atop the Chocolate Chex, along with the dried cranberries. Give it a good mix until evenly coated and then immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Allow to dry and set for 30 minutes.

Tips and Tricks
- This recipe moves quickly. It’s super easy but I find that you really have to do it all in one fell swoop for optimum deliciousness. Be sure to prep all of your ingredients.
- Chocolate Chex - I used the Chocolate Chex to give this mix a chocolate component. But I bet Rice Chex, Cinnamon or Whole Wheat would be delicious, too.
