Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup Christmas-themed M&Ms (red and green colors preferred)
- 1/4 cup crushed pretzels (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking and to make for easy cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into an approximately 1/4-inch thick layer using a spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the Christmas-themed M&Ms evenly over the melted chocolate. If using, sprinkle crushed pretzels on top for added texture and flavor.
- Set and Break: Allow the chocolate to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until completely set. Once firm, break the bark into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk chocolate chips with dairy-free or vegan chocolate.
- Customize M&M colors for other holidays or themes beyond Christmas.
- Crushed pretzels add a salty crunch but can be omitted if you prefer plain chocolate and candy bark.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing or burning.
