Supplies: 

Cookie Sheet

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).
