Homemade Sweet Treats, Almond Bark

This is probably the easiest candy you could make. It just takes two ingredients. Well, maybe three if you want to mix your chocolates. All you need is a bowl, a microwave, and the ingredients and you are set to make this candy.

I recently made a batch of this candy using the chocolate almond bark and almonds. But any sort of nuts would work in this recipe. So if you don’t like almonds give it a try with any kind of nut you like.

I will sometimes add some dried fruit, chopped pineapple or cranberries works really nice.

If you want a more chocolate flavor to the candy add in some milk chocolate chips or semisweet chips for a more dark chocolate.

You could even skip the chocolate almond bark altogether but you will need to temper the chocolate so it doesn’t get spots of white on it when it is cooling. I always add in some of the almond bark just to be sure that doesn’t happen.

Once the candy is all mixed up I spread it out fairly thin on a cookie sheet and then let it set. If you want to speed up the process you can chill the candy in the refrigerator.

Once the candy is cool and set all you need to do is break it up into serving size pieces and enjoy.

This recipe makes for an easy hostess gift or a quick dessert. I’m going to include the almond bark this year on my Christmas plates that I make up to share with family and friends.
