Mix-it-Up Holiday Bark
I really love recipes like this next one. It’s another favorite no-bake recipe for the holidays. But let’s be honest, it really is appropriate for any time of year! 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. 
Great gift idea
Here are some ways you can make these into some fun gifts! Stack pieces in a clear plastic gift bag, and tie at the top with a cute tag! 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:
1 (16 oz) package vanilla candy coating (like Candiquik)
1 (16 oz) package chocolate candy coating
1 cup roughly chopped Mint OREO cookies
1 cup roughly chopped pretzels
1 cup M&M’s
⅓ cup crushed candy canes or peppermints (optional)
½ cup 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!
Directions:
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 tsp 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. 
Enjoy!
