Christmas Candy Bark

8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

8 ounces milk chocolate chips

5 ounces red candy melts

5 ounces green candy melts

1/2 cup Christmas Oreos, cut in half

1/4 cup red and green M&Ms (you can use regular M&Ms, peanut, peanut butter, whatever you like!)

1/4 cup Holiday Corn

1/4 cup Candy Cane Hershey Kisses, cut in half

Measure out the candy. Cut the Candy Cane Hershey Kisses in half and the Christmas Oreos in half. Set the candy aside.

Lay out a piece of parchment paper. You’ll use this to make the Christmas Candy Bark on.

Put 8 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips and 8 ounces of milk chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Melt the chocolate but be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

Spread the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper into an 8 by 11 rectangle. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect.

Melt the red candy melts in a microwavable bowl. Place dots of the melted red candy melts on top of the melted chocolate.

Melt the green candy melts in a microwavable bowl. Place dots of the melted green candy melts on top of the melted chocolate.

Using a knife, swirl the candy melts and chocolate up and down. Then swirl the candy melts and chocolate back and forth.

Place the candy and cookies on the melted chocolate. Press down lightly.

Allow the Christmas Candy Bark to dry for at least 3 hours. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

I made this last night---gorgeous and easy! haven't cut or tasted it yet. tonight!

I went ahead and used 2 whole bags of Ghiradelli chips---one semi sweet and one milk chocolate and this filled an 11X17 cookie sheet. I did the swirlie thing with the green and red melts and added all the toppings that she called for(I even found those candy corns!at Fred Meyer/Kroger), just increasing the amounts to make a good topping. I cut the Oreos in quarters, but they broke into pieces anyway---not all nice like hers. The striped Hershey kisses didn't cut very well either---maybe use a warm knife next time. very festive and colorful. I'll be making at least 2 more batches to send to our fellas at the remote radar sites. Might as well since I have all that topping stuff leftover.
