  • Chill for 1 hour or until chocolate is hardened. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • 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!
Storage: Store M&M Christmas pretzel bark in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
