Fourth of July Bark
What’s red and white and blue all over (but also includes Oreos and M&Ms and sprinkles and tastes like sweet white chocolate)?
Fourth of July bark!
I can’t even begin to tell you how stinkin’ easy this PLB treat is. Do you have 10 minutes to spare? Then you can make this treat. Are you over the age of 2? Then you can make this treat. Do you like white chocolate? Then you SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY make this treat.
Let me tell you the three main components… white chocolate. Red chocolate. Blue chocolate.
It’s as simple as that!
But I must admit, the best part about this treat is the toppings. You can go bananas! (Although I wouldn’t advise bananas to be a topping because they’ll go bad very quickly, but hey, whatever floats your boat, my friend!) We’re talking chopped up Kit Kats, Reese’s, Oreos, nuts, toffee bits, caramel bits, M&Ms, coconut, the list goes on and on and on and on…
This bark can be tailored to your liking and, in fact, it can be made for any occasion, even other holidays! All you need are various colors of chocolate and toppings.
Take a look at the video below to see how to make Fourth of July bark!
