Throughout the year, I tend to accumulate a large number of baking ingredients. Pieces of leftover baking chocolate, handfuls of sweetened shredded coconut and a few pecan halves that take up space in my pantry and refrigerator. Once Halloween is over, I take all the colorful M&M’s and create a fun chocolate bark to give as gifts during the holidays.
The preparation is easy and fun. Involve the kids when it’s time to sprinkle the leftovers over the melted chocolate and watch their faces light up with excitement.
