Christmas-M&M-Candy-Cane-Vanilla-Rice-Crispies-White-and-Dark-Chocolate Bark

I <3 bark.

Loosen your belt. Give up on your diet. Or give it all away (that's what I did)!

But actually, I caution you that this is the best candy cane bark, or bark of any kind really, that I have ever made. Makes amazing gifts, or a festive treat for all of your holiday parties. This recipe is also dead easy, and having already been to 3 holiday parties, I understand that ease is of necessity.

We got the recipe here, and it goes like this: 

Ingredients:

-1 pack (8 squares) semi-sweet baker's chocolate

-1 pack (8 squares) white baker's chocolate

-2 cups Vanilla Rice Crispies 

-6 candy canes

-1 pack christmas-coloured M&Ms

Directions:

-Melt semi-sweet chocolate in a double-boiler and line a baking pan with parchment or wax paper. When chocolate is fully melted (no lumps) pour it over the parchment, filling the baking sheet but leaving a couple inches from each edge. 

-Sprinkle a layer (approx. 2 cups) of any kind of Rice Crispies cereal (we used vanilla).

-Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler and spread it over the cereal layer. 

-Crush 6 candy canes and sprinkle the bits and your M&Ms over the white chocolate

-Place the baking sheet in the fridge to fully harden (about 2 hours), then break it either with your hands or a knife into the size of pieces you desire.

Watch yourselves, I'm serious, you will want to eat it ALL! Or you will eat too many M&Ms while making it and never want to see chocolate again in your life (for that day, at least). I may have done this...
