Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (12 ounce) package vanilla chips or 1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups miniature M&M baking bits or 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups broken pretzels, pieces

Steps:

  • In a microwave safe bowl, heat chips and oil at 50% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave 10 to 20 seconds longer or until chips are melted, stirring occasionally.
  • Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in baking bits or pretzels. Spread onto wax paper lined baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes. Remove from refrigerator; break into pieces.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 60% cacao.
  • Make sure your chocolate is tempered before using it. This will help it set properly and give it a smooth, shiny finish.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Just make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Be patient when spreading the chocolate onto the parchment paper. It may take a few minutes for it to smooth out evenly.
  • If you want to create a marbled effect, drizzle different colors of melted chocolate onto the white chocolate before spreading it out.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some popular options include nuts, dried fruit, candy, and pretzels.
  • Once the chocolate bark is set, break it into pieces and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Christmas bark candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the holiday season. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So get creative and have fun making this festive treat!
