DIY: Holiday Confetti Bark

Holiday Confetti Bark

Still scratching your head to figure out what you will give your coworkers, teachers, friends, and family for the holidays? If your in a pinch for a gift, this recipe is for those people with a sweet tooth and requires no baking! Tis the season to make and eat chocolate bark!

RECIPE

• 2 bags Ghiradelli chocolate chips (get the good stuff, it tastes SO much better)
• 1 bag of mini marshmallows
• Multi colored or holiday themed sprinkles
• parchment paper
• baking sheet

Bring a pot of water to boil. Empty half a bag of chocolate chips on a double boiler or in a glass bowl big enough to cover a medium sized sauce pan. Slowly add more and more chips of an entire bag  while the others dissolve. Once you have a nice melted consistency, sprinkle an even amount of mini marshmallows on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cover the marshmallows with melted chocolate. This is the first process, so stick your chocolate covered marshmallows into the freezer until the chocolate cools and hardens. Continue to heat another bag of chips, and once melted, take the bark out of the freezer and repeat another layer of marshmallows and melted chocolate. Make sure to get the mallows even, because you want a nice layered amount in every bite. Once you layer your marshmallows in the chocolate, place more on top for presentation, along with your sprinkles. Cover the bark with a layer of parchment and a kitchen towel. Grab a cooking spoon or rolling pin and get out all your anger! Smash the bark into medium sized pieces. Don't go too crazy though, you don't want to ruin the sprinkles, or the prettiness! You are done!

Gift Wrapping

If this is for someone extra special, buy a cute wide mouth tea cup to place your bark in, and cover with a clear plastic treat bag. You can find a pack of 25 treat bags for about a dollar at your local craft store! Tie with festive twine or ribbon and add a candy cane. Or, if you are looking for a simple statement, place your bark in a treat bag and tie with twine and a candy cane. So easy, festive, and adorable!

Happy cooking and happy holidays!
