Wanna know one of my top Christmas snacks? It's Snowman Puddle Bark! This cute sweet treat blends smooth white chocolate with biscuits and sweets to create the most adorable melty snowpeople. Great for presents or creating with children, it never fails to get everyone grinning.
Enjoyable Creation Delightful Consumption
The best thing about this chocolate bark is how fast it comes together - just half an hour with zero baking! Children totally love helping put the snowmen faces on, and you can throw in whatever candy you've got lying around. It's now my favorite way to add some fun to our festive gatherings.

Creating The Wonder

Personal Touches
You might want to stick in some pretzel rod arms or tiny caps from cut peanut butter cups. I sometimes swap in cinnamon candies for the buttons or small orange Tic Tacs as carrot noses. You can really change it up however you want!
Storage Advice
Your sweet bark will stay tasty in a sealed container for roughly seven days. If your home is on the toasty side, just tuck it in the refrigerator. They turn into wonderful gifts when wrapped up in clear bags with fancy ribbons tied around them.

Handy Suggestions
Work fast when you're adding all the cute parts while the mixture hasn't hardened. Always put down parchment paper as it makes everything come off so much easier. And don't swap out the almond bark, as regular white chocolate drops just won't harden properly.
