Festive Holiday Fruitcake Bark image

Every year I make brandy-soaked dried fruit for fruitcake, but I always make too much. When I tried turning the extras into candy, the result was a sweet and colorful bark for grown-ups. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

I was so impressed with how well this bark held up. I was able to store it in the refrigerator for a week and it still tasted just as good as the day I made it.
