Thanksgiving Bark-Treat of the Day



Use your leftover Halloween candy and make a colorful Thanksgiving treat.   We made this last night and the family LOVED it. 
For our bark I used a bag of Hersheys Cookie and Cream candy bars  that I bought on clearance, and with a coupon at Target.  I also used Autumn mix candy corn, and a few bags of Reeses Pieces. 



Candy bark is super simple to make, and can easily be changed to your color and flavor preference.   For Thanksgiving, I thought a good color combination would be white, brown, orange and yellow.  I melted the chocolate bars in the microwave using the 30 second method.   Melt for 30 second intervals, stirring each time until all the chocolate has melted.   It only took me 2 minutes total for the entire bowl of chocolate. 


How to make Thanksgiving Candy Bark
Lay a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet, and spread the melted  chocolate mixture onto the paper. 



Add your favorite candies to the chocolate mixture.    Place in the freezer for about 15 mins to harden and to give the chocolate a nice shine. 




Once the candy has  hardened, pull from the wax paper and break into smaller pieces.

Enjoy!  (and if necessary, hide from your kids after they have eaten a few pieces so they don't eat the entire batch on a school night!)
