Lemon Drop Bark
- Yield: about 1-3/4 pounds (about thirty-six, 2-inch pieces.)
- Prep 20 mins
- Chill 30 mins
Ingredients
-
1
pound
vanilla-flavored candy coating, cut up
-
6
ounces
white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
-
3/4
cup
finely crushed lemon drops, peppermint candy canes or fruit-flavored hard candy (about 6 oz.)
-
1/4
cup
finely chopped macadamia nuts or slivered almonds (optional)
Directions
- Line a large baking sheet with foil; set aside. In a heavy medium saucepan, heat candy coating and white baking chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the crushed candy. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.; spread to about 3/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining crushed candy and macadamia nuts, if you like; press slightly.
- Chill candy about 30 minutes, or until firm. (Or let candy stand at room temperature for several hours until firm.) Use foil to lift firm candy from the baking sheet; carefully peel off foil and break candy into pieces.
- To store, layer the pieces of candy between waxed paper in airtight container; cover. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months. Serve at room temperature. Makes about 1-3/4 pounds (about thirty-six, 2-inch pieces.).
