100% would make again

“This bark is divine!” writes Susan Wacek of Pleasanton, California. “I was quick to ask for the recipe after tasting it at a holiday cookie/candy exchange. “For a lovely gift, fill a plate or cup with bark, gather up clear cellophane around it and tie with red and green satin ribbons. Friends and family will appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

Hi

Candy coating is much like white chocolate (white chocolate might work...and have cocoa in it where coating is not as good - my opinion). I have not made this yet, but I will be making it!
