Peanut Butter M&M Bark

Can you believe this is the 10th week of #handcraftededibles? That means Christmas is almost here! I'm not ready! Well, in the sense of gifts, I actually am. I finished up all of my Christmas shopping over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and now I'm just waiting on everything to arrive before I shove it into bags to save people from witnessing my lacking wrapping skills. 🙂

But as for being ready for the actual holiday, no way! Every year I want time to slow down between Thanksgiving and Christmas, because after Christmas we still have 3+ months of winter and that's nothing to look forward to.

But along the lines of gifts, bark is an easy choice. Who doesn't love hunks of chocolate? White Chocolate. Milk Chocolate. Dark Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Butterscotch. And then the mix in options are limitless. Candy. Cookie pieces. Marshmallows. Nuts. Dried Fruit, even.
