How to make easy 3 Ingredient Grinch Bark
This bark recipe is so quick and easy!
- First, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Next, melt both bags of candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for one minute. Stir, then continue to heat the candy in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the candy melts completely. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer that method.
- Pour the melted green candy onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, spreading it evenly with a rubber or offset spatula. Use a toothpick to create a design by dragging it gently through the melted chocolate.
- Now it’s time to decorate your Grinch bark! Sprinkle the green sprinkles and red candy hearts across the melted candy in an even layer. Then, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to harden for at least 30 minutes. You can also leave it at room temperature for at least an hour.
- Once the candy sets, break it up into pieces with a sharp knife, serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Work quickly to put your decorations on the candy, as it sets up pretty quickly.
- Be sure the bark is completely set before breaking it into pieces.
- This treat is great to give as a gift for Christmas. Just place it into a jar or tin to give away! Grinch lovers will adore it!
