EQUIPMENT

  • 2 toothpicks

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate chips divided (save ¼ cup for decorating)
  • Pretzel Sticks
  • white candy melts
  • Orange food coloring
  • White nonpareils

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Line a square baking sheet with wax paper (or parchment paper) and set aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 1 ¾ cups of chocolate chips. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds, repeating this process until all chocolate is smooth and melted.
  • Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread the chocolate into a smooth even layer.
  • Immediately begin creating the snowmen by adding three white candy melts for each snowman. Repeat this process, giving the snowmen a little room between them.
  • Break off pieces of pretzel stick and add two arms for each snowman.
  • Sprinkle on white nonpareils to give the effect of snow.
  • Place the bark in the fridge to firm up for 20 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining ¼ cup of dark chocolate chips in a small bowl.
  • Add white candy melts to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power, stir, and repeat this process until chocolate is melted. Stir in 2-3 drops of food coloring. Add a few drops (or more if necessary) of avocado oil or coconut oil if chocolate begins to seize up, stirring until smooth.
  • Add faces to the snowmen on the chilled chocolate bark. Dip a toothpick into the dark chocolate and dot eyes, charcoal mouth and 3 buttons down the center of each snowman.
  • Use a separate toothpick to dip into the orange chocolate and draw a nose onto each snowman.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the bark into servings, being sure to include one snowman per piece.
  • Place in treat bags, Christmas treat tins, or enjoy immediately for a fun winter treat!
