. . . Patriotic Crunch . . .

To keep with the theme of Red, White and Blue I wanted to make something super easy but festive so I came up with this quick and simple recipe based on Bark that I make for the Christmas Holiday Season.  I needed a fun name for it so I came up with Patriotic Crunch and it seemed appropriate with Independence Day around the corner.  This is so super duper easy but everyone will love it!  I made it today and by the end of the day I think my family, I mean me, had eaten about half of it.  Watch out...it is addictive!

Gather your ingredients--you really could add anything to this that you want.

Melt your Almond Bark over very low heat or in the microwave.  Be careful because once it burns it is ruined.

**TIP**

When making Bark dab a little of your melted chocolate on each corner of your cookie sheet, then lay your parchment paper down and press over the melted chocolate.  It is like a glue and it holds the parchment in place.

Crumble your pretzels and Oreos over the parchment lined baking sheet

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pretzels and Oreos.  Spread chocolate with a spatula but don't drag the oreos too much or your chocolate will get yucky looking.

Once the chocolate is smoothed over your pretzels and Oreos, sprinkle with red, white and blue sprinkles.

Add red and blue M&Ms over the top. 

Place in the fridge until chocolate is completely cooled. 

Make sure the Bark is completely solid before you start breaking it up.  I let mine sit for at least an hour in the fridge.

Just start breaking pieces off of the Bark until you get the desired size.  Enjoy!
