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.

1/4 cup holiday mix old-fashioned candies
DIRECTIONS
1.  Line a 13 x 9 jelly roll pan with parchment paper and set aside.
