Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
• melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. using a spatula, quickly spread the melted chocolate evenly in the prepared pan until the bottom of the pan is covered. sprinkle the crushed candy evenly over the chocolate, and pat lightly with a clean spatula to help the candy settle into the chocolate.
• melt the red confectioner's coating, if using, in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). spoon the melted coating into a resealable plastic bag; snip off a very small corner of the bag, and use to drizzle coating over the bark.
• place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer until hardened, about 30 minutes. remove from pan; peel off foil. break into small pieces to serve.
