A Christmas Bark recipe is the perfect way to spend some time with the little ones (or even the adults) doing a fun holiday activity while also getting a delicious Christmas treat! I absolutely love Christmas candy. Buying and making it is one of my favorite things to do during the holidays. My great-aunts handed down some wonderful, old-fashioned Christmas candy recipes to our family that we all enjoy making. However, sometimes those old-fashioned recipes, as amazing as they are, can be a little time consuming. That’s when fun recipes like Christmas Bark come in to save the fun! You can add in just about any candies to this to make it truly unique.
Gingerbread House Christmas Bark Recipe
Yields: 13 x 9 pan
INGREDIENTS
11 oz bag white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
1 Tablespoon shortening
4-5 mini gingerbread cookies (I found these at Dollar Tree)
1/4 cup red and green M&M candies (I used the mini version)
7-8 red and green peppermint candies
1/4 cup candy gumdrops
DIRECTIONS
1. Line a 13 x 9 jelly roll pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Add the white chocolate chips and shortening to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave in 20 second increments until completely melted and smooth. Remove from microwave and stir well. Careful, it’s hot!
3. Pour the melted white chocolate into the lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula. Immediately, place the gingerbread cookies into the melted chocolate.
4. Randomly sprinkle the rest of the bark with the M & M candies, peppermints, gumdrops, nougats and the old-fashioned holiday mix candies.
5. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to completely harden.
6. Before serving, break into pieces and ENJOY!!!
