Let me share one of my favorite holiday treats - Melted Snowman Bark! This adorable dessert combines creamy white chocolate with cookies and candies to make the cutest little melted snowmen. It's perfect for gift-giving or making with kids and always brings smiles.
Fun to Make Fun to Eat
What I love about this bark is that you can have it ready in just 30 minutes no baking required! Kids have a blast helping decorate the snowmen and you can use whatever candies you have on hand. It's become my go-to recipe for adding whimsy to holiday celebrations.

Make It Your Own
Try adding pretzel stick arms or tiny top hats made from peanut butter cups. Sometimes I use Red Hots for buttons or orange Tic Tacs for noses. The possibilities are endless!
Keep It Fresh
Your bark will stay perfect in an airtight container for about a week. If your house runs warm pop it in the fridge. These make adorable gifts wrapped in cellophane bags with pretty ribbons.
