Here are the ingredients that I use to make bark.
1 Package of white candy melts ( I like Wiltons)
Candy corn (I cut the candy corn in 1/2)
M & M's plain and peanut
Snowcaps
Fall colored sprinkles (optional)
Parchment paper
I melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds then stir, repeat until the melts are smooth.
I like to melt 1/2 the package. You never know, melting candy can sometimes get tricky. If there is the smallest drop of water in the dish or on the spoon the candy will get hard and that is not good.
Pour the candy onto the parchment paper. That is a dinner plate underneath, so the candy is about the size of a large salad plate. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. You can always melt more chocolate at this time and pour it right on top of the first layer if you want it thicker.
Next drop the candies onto the melted chocolate. You can lightly press the candies into the white chocolate.
Microwave about a handful of candy melts to drizzle over the top of the candies. I just dip a spoon into the chocolate and just start drizzling. This helps the candy to stay in place. If you have sprinkles now is the time to pour them on top. Place the dish into the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes until the candy is hard.
Now break the candy! I usually start by breaking it in half first. I like bite size pieces! Large bite size pieces are the best!
I had extra melted chocolate so I covered a few Oreos. I hate to waste chocolate!
Thanks for visiting!
