You are just going to love this fun Grinch bark recipe! It is so cute for the holiday season and watching one of our favorite Christmas movies- How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It is such a classic movie that has become a family tradition, and this is the perfect treat for the Christmas season whether you are attending a grinch themed Christmas party, hosting a Grinch movie night, or making homemade candy gifts! Normally we would use chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to make candy bark, but we had a lot of fun using melting wafers and candy melts for this great recipe.

This is such a cute recipe that is perfect for that Christmas time sweet tooth. Your whole family will enjoy this festive treat.

Here’s everything you’ll need-

Grinch Bark Ingredients:

• 10 oz. white vanilla or white chocolate candy melts (or sometimes they are called melting wafers)
• 12 oz. vibrant green Candy Melts (these give us this perfect green color)
• Green jimmies sprinkles
• Mini heart sprinkles (we just loved these adorable hearts, you can also use the jumbo heart sprinkles if you prefer)

Directions:

Step 1: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 2: Add the white wafers to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second increments, stirring well between, until melted. Will only take 1-1 ½ minutes total.

Step 3: Pour the white melted candy onto the wax paper or parchment-lined baking sheet and smooth into a thin layer. Move the cookie sheet to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the candy to set.

Step 4: Meanwhile, add the green candy melts to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well in between. Should also only take 1-1 ½ minutes total.

Step 5: Pour the melted green candy over the solid white candy, and smooth over to create a second layer.

Step 6: Sprinkle with green jimmies and mini heart sprinkles. Move to the refrigerator for 2 hours to set completely.

Step 7: Break the bark into individual pieces, and enjoy!

Tips:

• You can use chocolate chips for this, melted the same way. White chocolate and then white chocolate with a few drops of green food coloring. You could also use almond bark which is typically vanilla flavored and perfect for this idea.
• If you are worried about microwaving chocolate or candy melts, you can always set up a double boiler, if you have one. We have also created our own double boiler using a medium saucepan and a heat safe glass bowl, such as pyrex.
• If you can’t find heart sprinkles, red candy hearts will also work great!
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
• You could also add red or green M&M candies to your bark!
