CHRISTMAS BARK

For several years I made Christmas Bark and gave it packaged in seasonal tin containers. Many of my family members always looked forward to receiving their annual gift. Well, I hadn't made it for a couple of years and the complaining was relentless so this year I was cajoled into whipping up a batch. The bark is made of white and milk chocolate roasted and salted peanuts and any dry breakfast cereal I can get my hands on. Now the twist comes when I add crushed candy canes and or other crushed mints which gives it the Christmas effect.


This is the crushed candy that Son smashed for me and as you can see some busy finger have already invaded the goodies.
I sprinkle it all over the top just before I take it outside to cool.

The second batch is well under way and the milk chocolate is melting nicely.

The white batch is outside cooling down. At this stage it doesn't look too good but once it is broken into the "bark" it is sooo tasty!

Ta Da.......a whole bowl full of yummies even if it did take so persuasion to make it.
