Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 oz green candy melts
  • 4 oz milk chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Christmas candies (such as red and white peppermint pieces, candy canes, or festive sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt green candy melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread green layer: Pour and spread the melted green candy evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin layer to create your bark base.
  4. Melt milk chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate, also in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  5. Drizzle milk chocolate: Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the green candy layer, creating a marbled or decorated effect.
  6. Add Christmas candies: Immediately sprinkle the Christmas candies over the chocolate while it is still melted, pressing them lightly to ensure they stick.
  7. Set and break: Allow the bark to cool and harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator until fully set, then break into irregular pieces for serving or gift wrapping.

Notes

  • Use high-quality candy melts and chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • If candy melts become too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin.
  • Substitute Christmas candies with nuts or dried fruits for variation.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
  • Ensure the bark is completely set before breaking to avoid crumbling.
