The holidays are just around the corner and we are excited to share one of our favorite recipes that can be made quickly and easily.

It’s perfect for company, and ideal for little hands to help you sprinkle the M&M’s and sprinkles. A fun way to get the whole family involved. And with only five ingredients this Christmas Bark is cost-effective and easy.

Make a batch in advance and store in an airtight container – great for prepping food for a Christmas Party. Don’t forget a batch of Chocolate Chip Shortbread to enjoy alongside.

Easy Five Ingredient Christmas Bark

Supplies: 

Cookie Sheet
Glass measuring Cup
Knife/Spatula

Ingredients:

Holiday M&M’s
1/2 bag of Wilton Candy Melts White
1/2 bag of Wilton Candy Melts Green
1/3 bag of Wilton Candy Melts Red
Christmas Sprinkles

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place bag of wilton candy melts in a microwave-safe dish (I used a Pyrex measuring cup) and heat on 50% power for 1.5 mins, stir, then microwave at 50% power for 1 min or until fully melted and smooth upon stirring. Pour melted chocolate onto a cookie sheet and spread out with an offset spatula until evenly distributed. (Note: your bark can be as thick or thin as you would like just depends on how thin you spread the chocolate).
Swirl with a knife until all colors are mixed through. The knife allows for swirling of colors but not mixing of the colors so each color stays it’s original shade.
Sprinkle with M&Ms.
Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.
Place in the fridge to set (approximately 30 minutes)
Once hardened break into bite-sized pieces.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
