Time for that sweet tooth to work this holiday season with this sweet and colorful Grinch Bark. The best candy treat you don’t ever wanna miss.
Are you familiar with the green funny guy who is always annoyed when people are celebrating Christmas. Who is also into stealing Christmas gifts? Yesss! It’s “The Grinch”! His heart does grow and he becomes sweet at the end.. Awww!
This Grinch inspired candy, the Grinch Bark is so awesome. Makes the kids jump around for excitement when they recognize him.
I’m thinking of pairing it with Kiwi Slushy (with a cherry on top for the Grinch effect), or the Kid-Friendly Jiggly Puff Punch (with green cotton candy, instead of pink)
Hmmm. What do you think? I might ask the experts here… my kids. Lol!
Making the Grinch Bark
You should know that these are no ordinary candies. Something that looks like you bought it in a grocery store. They look like pieces of tree bark. That is why it’s called Grinch Bark.
They are very easy to make. You don’t need any molds or special pans to make these candies. The tools you need are a baking dish, a couple of microwavable bowls, parchment paper and a small knife or spatula.
First thing is to gather these ingredients:
- 2 cups bright green candy melts
- ¼ cup red candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup crushed peppermints
- ¼ cup Grinch-ish sprinkles
To make the Grinch Bark
- First thing you’ll do is to line your baking dish (9×9 or 9×13 inches) with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray, if desired.
- Then place bright green candy melts and ¾ tbsp coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. The coconut oil helps thin the chocolate.
- Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment until melted and smooth.
- Then pour the green melted candy into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the red candy melts and remaining coconut oil in a second microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment until melted and smooth.
- Then drizzle over the green melted candy and lightly run a knife or spatula through it to swirl the two together.
- Sprinkle the peppermints and sprinkles over the melted candy, then place in the fridge for about an hour.
- Remove from the fridge. Then remove parchment paper from the pan, dropping the parchment paper onto the counter a couple of times to break the bark up. or you can crack off pieces with your hands.
- Then serve and enjoy!
