I love making candy barks they are so fun and sooooo very easy to make!! I also love a good salty sweet treat and this one fits the bill. Oh and since its getting close to Halloween how about a salty sweet Monster Bark treat? This one every one will love and the kids will get such a kick out of all the spooky eyes on the bark!!
Now you can use chocolate almond bark, but for some reason I love the white almond bark with the salty addition of the crushed pretzels and dry roasted peanuts! And with this one I sprinkled a little Fleur DE Sel on top!! It puts it over the edge!!! I can’t stop eating it!!
Sooo easy to make too! Here is what you will need!!
All you need to do is melt, mix, melt and decorate!!! Then when the bark has set up break into pieces!! Super easy!
I also had these fun sprinkles so these went on the top too with the eyes!
Yes those are candy bugs!! So cute and icky!!
