Ingredients

Scale

White Candy Coating

  • 1 Package White Candy Coating (amount varies; the whole package yields a generous amount)

Mixings

  • Approximately 3 cups of mixed ingredients such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy pieces, and broken pretzels

Additional

  • Wax paper (to cover the cookie sheet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Cover a large cookie sheet completely with wax paper to prevent sticking and make lifting the bark easier after it hardens.
  2. Layer the mixings: Evenly spread half of your chosen mixings—including chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy, and broken pretzels—over the wax paper covered cookie sheet.
  3. Melt the candy coating: Place the white candy coating in a microwave-safe container and melt it according to the package instructions, ensuring it is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Assemble the bark: Pour the melted white candy coating evenly over the layer of mixings on the cookie sheet. Use a spatula to spread and coat the mixings thoroughly.
  5. Add remaining toppings: Immediately sprinkle the remaining half of the mixings over the wet candy coating, pressing them gently into the surface so they adhere firmly once set.
  6. Set and break: Allow the candy bark to sit undisturbed at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or until fully hardened. Once hardened, gently break the bark into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Store properly: Place the broken bark pieces in an airtight container to keep fresh until ready to serve or gift.

Notes

  • Ensure the candy coating is smoothly melted to avoid clumps in the bark.
  • You can customize the mixings with your favorite nuts, fruits, and candies to suit your taste.
  • Pressing the mixings lightly into the melted candy ensures they stick well as it hardens.
  • Store the bark in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or stickiness.
  • Use wax paper or parchment paper to make removal from the cookie sheet easier.
