So, I leave out the nuts because the kids don't like them but always make this and usually use Chocolate Crunch Bark and Cocoa Krispies.

Well, DD wanted a batch without cranberries too (basically like a Nestle Crunch Candy Bar).

So, I got a brainstorm...


I added Sweet Mocha Hazelnut Sprinkles to a section of it.


YUMMO!!!!!


I now have a new variation for next year.













Right now there is also a small batch of white almond bark, mocha sprinkles and krispies on the front porch setting. I think I like the chocolate version better though.
 
Sounds delish.... About how much Sweet Mocha Hazelnut Sprinkles did you add?

Um, good question...I sprinkled until it looked good! :D

Probably for a full thing of bark you'd need a good 2-3 Tbsp.
 
Cool!!! I think I will do that tomorrow. I need to make some more candies for Christmas. Thanks for the idea.
 
My DD is taking baked goods as gifts along with new pictures of the grandkids to her dad's side of the family Wednesday. I'll ask her about this as one of the things. We have lots of Almond Bark left over from the KITK thing!
