Tips for Success
- Don’t try to break this bark up into pieces before it’s ready. It needs the full hour in the fridge to chill and reach the perfect breakable consistency.
- Speaking of breaking, don’t worry if you have lots of mismatched uneven pieces. That’s the fun part about this bark! However, you can also use a knife to chop it up into more even portions if you’d like.
- Try your best to sprinkle the M&M candies evenly over the top of the bark, that way every single piece has the same amount of colorful chocolate pieces!
