This festive Christmas Bark is such an easy recipes and makes the perfect food gift this holiday season. Not only will Rudolph and Santa love it but so will your neighbors.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
This recipe is fun, delicious, and so easy. There is no baking or cooking involved, just a little melting! And it literally only takes minutes to make. Then just let it set up and harden.
This is perfect for a party, festive treat, or neighbor gift!
Ingredients Needed
- Oreo cookies. You can use the holiday ones with red filling or regular will work too.
- Pretzels. I used the small stick pretzels
- White chocolate almond bark or Wilton melts. You can also use white chocolate chips.
- Reindeer candy corn and/or holiday M & M’s
- Red and green colored sprinkles
How to Make Christmas Bark
- Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break cookies and pretzels into pieces.
- Spread broken cookies, pretzels and about 3/4 cup of the candy corn onto the waxed paper. If using both candy corn and M & M’s, use 1/2 cup of each.
- Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth. White chocolate melts faster and burns easier than chocolate
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie mixture, spreading with spatula if needed to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle remaining candy corn and colored sprinkles over the chocolate while it is still wet.
- Place cookie tray into the fridge until set and firm.
- Remove and gently break bark into small pieces.
Tips
Christmas Bark is easy to customize.
- Instead of Almond Bark or white chocolate use dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
- Switch out the cookies for another cookie such as Biscoff or graham crackers.
- Add in some marshmallows or some crushed candy cane.
It’s pretty in a fun holiday bowl and makes the perfect guest at your next party. I love to wrap it up in a cellophane bag and hand it out to my neighbors too.
I bet Rudolph would love a bowl of Christmas Bark left out for him on Christmas Eve along with Santa’s cookies – much better than a carrot!

Has anyone tried using regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?

HI! This is still a go to recipe for holidays…haven’t made the Christmas version in a long time though. Any tips on where to find the red/green candy corn? I have been all over!
Leigh Anne says
I found it at Winco. So glad you love the recipe too!! Enjoy!
Joy says
How long does it take to harden? I want to make these with my girl scout troop and we would have an hour before we would need to serve.
Leigh Anne says
Depends on how cool your house is – if you are in a hurry you can put it in the refrigerator to firm up faster or I have even put it out in a cold garage or even outside!

thanks for these corn bark recipes!! 🙂 i made the candy corn version last weekend for a little church party. very fun and tasty! i thought i’d mention that i added salted peanuts to mine and loved it. we needed a little more salty (besides just the pretzels) to balance out the sweet. maybe i used less pretzels than you did? anyway – peanuts are a great addition! thanks again 🙂
Leigh Anne says
Love the addition of the peanuts! Glad you enjoyed!

I found the Reindeer Candy Corn, in the Seattle area, at Fred Meyer, called Holiday Corn by Zachary in the seasonal candy section. Could not find the Reindeer Candy Corn at the closest Winco to me. I am going to make this week-end it looks delicious.
