Ingredients

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup crushed candy canes
• 0.25 cup sprinkles (red, green, or festive holiday-themed)
• 0.25 cup crushed pretzels (optional for added crunch)
• 1 sheet parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3

Pour the melted semisweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 4

Refrigerate the semisweet chocolate layer for 10 minutes to set slightly but not completely harden.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

Step 6

Remove the semisweet chocolate layer from the refrigerator and gently pour the white chocolate over it. Spread evenly with a spatula to ensure coverage.

Step 7

Working quickly before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the crushed candy canes, holiday sprinkles, and crushed pretzels (if using) over the white chocolate layer.

Step 8

Lightly press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they stick.

Step 9

Refrigerate the bark for 1 hour or until completely hardened.

Step 10

Once set, remove from the refrigerator and break into pieces of your desired size by hand.

Step 11

Store the Christmas Bark Candy in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
