2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups miniature M&M baking bits or 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups broken pretzels, pieces

Tips:

  • To make the bark even more festive, use Christmas-themed sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed candy canes as toppings.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, the mixture is ready.
  • For a smoother bark, strain the melted chocolate through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • To speed up the cooling process, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before breaking the bark into pieces.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
