Print Recipe

Chocolate Christmas Bark is a festive, no-bake holiday treat made with rich melted chocolate and a colorful mix of sweet and salty toppings like pretzels, candy, and sprinkles. Perfect for gifting, party trays, or snacking all season long.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips

  4. Immediately sprinkle pretzel pieces, M&M’s, crushed candy canes, and sprinkles evenly over the top.
