Red Patriotic Bark

Ingredients

• 12 oz. Wilton red chocolate candy melts
• 2 C. pretzels, broken into small pieces
• 1 C. red, white and blue chocolate candies (I bought the colors separate in the bulk section at my local grocer) – you could also use M&M’s and separate the colors.

2. Spread ¾ C. of the chocolate candies and the broken pretzel pieces onto the lined cookie sheet.

5. Before the mixture sets sprinkle the remaining chocolate candies and the Patriotic sprinkles on top.
6. Place cookie in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
7. Remove and break into smaller pieces.
