Festive Winter Bark Crunch???????????

[heat123]

What is almond bark and where do you buy it? I am doing a vendor event and these sounded interesting to make as a sample? I have never even heard of such a thing? Has anyone made these and are they any good?

I don't know what all is in it, but it is basically just chocolate that melts very easy and smoothly. It comes in White or Chocolate. Were I live, I can get a pound of it at Walmart for $1.50. I've gotten it at Kroger too, but it usually costs more. It also comes in squares that you can just break off and stick in your micro cooker and melt. I just used some last night in my stoneware mold and it turned out pretty good. I also make chocolate covered spoons, chocolate covered pretzels, and sometimes I put a couple of drops of peppermint extract in it and pour it in molds to make mints. Everyone loves them. You can put food coloring in the white, but you are not supposed to use the liquid color, only the paste.

Almond bark is a type of confectionery coating made from vegetable fats, flavors, and colors. It is often used as a substitute for real chocolate in baking and candy making. You can buy almond bark in most grocery stores in the baking aisle, or at specialty baking stores. It is also available online. I have tried making treats with almond bark before and they turned out pretty good. It has a creamy, sweet flavor and is easy to work with. I recommend giving it a try at your vendor event!
