Making Chocolate "Bark"
Hi!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season!
Today, I'm going to switch it up and show you how to make bark, which is this delicious chocolate goody. Just in time to make for New Years before we all start our diets. This is great because you can put whatever you want in it.
What you'll need:
Start by making a "double boiler." This is wicked easy.
All you need is a big, deep pot and a shallower pot that fits on top.
Fill the large pot halfway with water. Bring to a boil with the
shallower pot on the top to heat up.
Step 2:
While the water is heating up, prepare your stuff. In a bowl, I mixed all the goodies together; the M&Ms and peanuts, and pretzels. I also lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper. This step will be important later.
Step 3:
Once the water is boiling, empty both bags of chips into the shallow pan on top, stirring the chips so that they melt evenly.
Step 4:
Once the chips have completely melted, pour the chocolate into the pan, spreading and evenly distributing it. Save a little chocolate in the pot for step 7.
Step 5:
Immediately after step 4, drop your mixture of goodies into the chocolate. The chocolate starts to harden fast, so you have to be quick.
Step 6: (optional)
If you did not put enough stuff in the bowl, you can just put more stuff into the chocolate. I used half a (big) bag of both M&Ms, 3/4 of a can of peanuts and a couple handfuls of pretzel sticks. I did break the pretzel sticks up into halves or thirds because they are so long.
Step 7:
Once you have finalized you placement of goodies, use the left over chocolate from step 4 to drizzle over the top to hold everything in.
Step 8:
Put it in the fridge and let harden for an hour or so and then break into pieces. If you value your hands, do not try to use a knife to do this. Use clean hands to do this.
Enjoy!

What you'll need:
- Cookie sheet with lips
- Parchment paper or waxed paper
- Spatula
- 2 bags of chocolate chips (approx. 11.5 oz each or the equivalent of 4 cups)
- Stuff to put in the bark. I used:
- Pretzel sticks
- Peanuts
- Peanut M&Ms
- Regular M&Ms
- Empty shelf in the fridge
- Double boiler - deep pot and shallow pot that are the same circumference.
Step 2:
While the water is heating up, prepare your stuff. In a bowl, I mixed all the goodies together; the M&Ms and peanuts, and pretzels. I also lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper. This step will be important later.

10 Dollar Mall!
If you're a reader of my blog, then you'll know that I love a bargain. If a deal can be found, I can find it. I'm a girl, and I love clothes. I love to shop and I get a high when I find a hot top or the perfect pair of jeans. One day I was searching for cheap clothing websites - and I don't mean cheap quality, just cheap prices. I stumbled upon 10 Dollar Mall.
What?! Everything is $10 bucks or less! That is my kind of shopping. So I started looking around the site, and they sell everything! Juniors clothes, plus sizes (perfect for me!), mens, kids and accessories! Have I died and gone to heaven? Yes, yes I have.
I have bought so much from 10 Dollar Mall that I get a package at least once a week. They always have new items and the stuff just gets better and better!
Now, I know what you're thinking: cheap prices mean cheap quality. WRONG. You are so wrong. 10 Dollar Mall clothes are not only super cute and affordable, but they're high quality, too! I beat the crap out of clothes, wearing them, washing them, throwing in the dryer, but not once has one thing I have bought from 10 Dollar Mall been destroyed or shrunk or even look worn. All of my stuff looks brand new, including my favorite shirt from there that I wear at least once a week and wash every time I wear it. The quality is out of this world! Wash it, throw it in the dryer and put it on! When my dogs jump on me, I always expect to get pulls or holes in my clothes, but never has anything I have bought from 10 Dollar Mall ever gotten destroyed by my two dogs.
There clothes are so cute! Just tonight I was shopping around when I came across the cutest cardigans! I am a sucker for a cardigan and these were adorable! I mean, come on, it's pink AND sparkly! I am definitely buying this dress! How cute is that? Perfect for going out to dinner with your beau or hanging out with the girls! This skirt is definitely coming home to my house. I'll feel like a ballerina in it. :) How fun is this sequin dress? It's pink and sparkly, one of my first rules of fashion. ;)
Did I mention that if you "like" 10 Dollar Mall on Facebook, you get 3% off your order? No? Well, you do. And every time you tweet, you get 3% off. Bargains on top of bargains. Gotta love it.
Happy shopping!!
