Since Yuletide, I've had two boxes of beautiful blueberry & peppermint candy canes laying around. I also had some leftover Hershey's Kisses, white chocolate chips, blue candy melts, and cookie sprinkles laying around in the pantry. Hmmm...my brain started ticking. Why not whip up a couple different chocolate barks. Easy, tasty and economical. Here is what I ended up with.
I am very pleased with the results. Not only is it tasty, but it's beautiful to look at too. Not bad for a bunch of leftover candy!
Milk Chocolate Peppermint Bark:
Many unwrapped Hershey's Kisses (probably 50)
6 or 7 peppermint candy canes, crushed
Various sprinkles (I used sparkle sugar and little red sugar berries)
Lay down a piece of aluminium foil.
Crush candy canes. I leave a few bigger pieces just to make the finished bark pretty.
Melt Kisses for 30 second blasts in microwave until smooth.
Make sure to stir often and don't overcook. Spread onto foil. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, then with sparkle sugar & red sugar berries. Let sit for a few minutes until set.
I put mine in the fridge as it seems chocolate takes forever to set!
White Chocolate Blueberry Bark
1/2 bag White Chocolate chips
4 blueberry candy canes, crushed
Various sprinkles (I had snowflakes & sparkle sugar)
Blue Candy Melts
Lay down a piece of aluminium foil. Melt white chocolate chips for 30 second blasts in microwave until smooth. Make sure to stir often and don't overcook. Spread onto foil. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, then with snowflakes and sparkle sugar. Let sit for a few minutes until set.
Melt blue candy melts and drizzle over white chocolate. Sprinkle with more sparkle sugar.
Let set completely, then break into pieces and enjoy!
Get creative! I've got other chips (butterscotch, cherry, and dark chocolate) and many other tidbits in the pantry just waiting to be turned into customized candy bark (hmmm...cherry chocolate for Valentine's day?).
