Avalanche Bark

If you have been to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory you may be familiar with this incredibly delicious treat. I think that this is my all time favorite sweet treat. I have been getting caramel apples  from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for years now and they are my absolute favorite. Several years ago my friend Abby found this copycat recipe and we have been making it ever since. My family LOVES it!

1/4 C Creamy Peanut Butter

1 3/4 C White Chocolate Chips

1 C Rice Crispies Cereal

1/2 C Marshmallows (slightly packed)

1/4 C Chocolate Chips (frozen)

• In a double boiler or using whatever melting method you prefer, melt white chocolate chips and peanut butter together until creamy.
• Remove from heat and transfer to mixing bowl to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Fold in Rice Crispies, then continue cooling until  it does not feel warm at all. (Do Not put in fridge to cool or it will set up)
• Making sure that the mixture is not warm fold in marshmallows and chocolate chips. (If you add these when the mixture is to warm the chocolate will melt, you do not want that to happen)
• Pour the mixture into an 8x8 pan lined with plastic wrap.
• Place pan in fridge to set up, approx 20-30 minutes
• At this point you should be able to easily remove the bark from the pan. Cut into desired size pieces & enjoy.

Holiday Peppermint Bark

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend, I know we sure did. I realize this recipe would have been better posted before the Holiday but I did not make it till the very last minute. I still wanted to post it anyway. I have seen this bark made several different ways but I think the way I made it this year is my favorite. Makes a great treat to place in goodie bags to give as gifts.

Holiday Peppermint Bark

6 squares of Chocolate Almond Bark

6 squares of White Almond Bark

3 Candy Canes Crushed

• Melt chocolate almond bark according to packaging, when completely melted pour into 8x8 baking dish lined with wax paper or onto cookie sheet with edges and let it set up (I placed mine in the fridge)
• When chocolate bark is set up melt the white chocolate bark and pour on top of the chocolate and sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
•  Once completely set break the bark into desired size pieces and enjoy right away or package up and give as gifts.

I used almond bark but you can use white or chocolate chips to. With the recipe listed above I used an 8x8 pan lined with wax paper, I thought that the thickness of the chocolate came out perfect. You can also add some of the crushed candy canes right into the melted chocolate for more peppermint flavor. I only added the crushed candy canes to the top and thought the peppermint flavor was perfect for my taste.
