Sweet and Salty Bark

Who doesn't like bark?  The last year or two I haven't made candy at Christmas, I think it's time to go back to it.  Bark is easy to make...melt some chocolate, pick what you want in your bark, mix it up, let it set, break it into pieces and eat!

This recipe is in the holiday edition of Kraft Food and Family.

Microwave 6oz. each semi sweet chocolate and white chocolate in a medium microwavable bowl on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring after 1 minute.  Chop 1/3 C. dry roasted peanuts, add to chocolate with 1 C. chopped pretzels; mix well.  Spread onto waxed paper covered baking sheet.  Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.  Break into pieces.

Crunchy Spiced Bark

Melt 3 4oz. packages  bittersweet chocolate.  Combine with 20 chopped chocolate wafer cookies, 1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.  Spread onto waxed paper covered baking sheet.  Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.  Break into pieces.  Warn people you are sharing this with about the cayenne!  LOL
