This festive Christmas M&M Bark is a sweet and crunchy holiday treat that’s easy to make and perfect for gifting or sharing at holiday parties.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 12 oz milk chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1 cup Christmas-themed M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup crushed pretzels (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal of the bark easy once it’s set.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the Christmas-themed M&Ms and crushed pretzels over the melted chocolate for a festive appearance and added crunch.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the chocolate bark to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens and sets.
  6. Break Into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve or package for gifting.

Notes

  • You can substitute dark or white chocolate chips for a different flavor variation.
  • Crushed pretzels are optional but add a nice salty contrast to the sweet chocolate.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
  • Use festive M&Ms with red, green, and white colors for a holiday theme.
  • If you prefer, you can speed up the setting process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
