The beauty of this recipe is that there really are no hard and fast rules. You can play with the recipe and add in whatever you really enjoy. It’s that sweet and salty combination of flavors that always works best.

- Or stack small pieces in a clear gift bag, tie with a cute tag, and set in a mug for a cute teacher gift.
- It’s also a great holiday party recipe activity to do with kids. Let them get creative with what they want to add to the goodie snack bowl!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- vanilla candy coating (like Candiquik)
- chocolate candy coating
- roughly chopped Mint OREO cookies
- roughly chopped pretzels
- M&M’s
- crushed candy canes or peppermints (optional)
- Goldfish crackers
- festive sprinkles of choice
- parchment paper
Cook’s Note: We really enjoyed the Goldfish and pretzels in this but you can change it up with your salty treats!
HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS CANDY BARK:
Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together Oreo cookies, pretzels, M&M’s, peppermints, and Goldfish.
Melt the milk chocolate first by placing in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving on high for 1 minute. *If your chocolate gets too hot and starts to harden, add 1 teaspoon of butter at a time until smoothed out*
Pour melted milk chocolate onto the parchment paper, and spread out into a large semi-thin rectangle. Let it firm up for a few minutes before moving on.
Melt the white (vanilla) chocolate the same way, and pour into the large bowl with all of the crushed snacks. Mix everything together quickly so that it is evenly coated, and then drop by the spoonful onto the milk chocolate layer. Spread gently, so as not to disturb the bottom layer.
Add sprinkles, and let cool 1 hour (or refrigerate for 10 minutes). Break apart before serving.
