pssst....hey kid, you gonna eat that candy?

It's ok to go CRAZY.   Let me explain. 

But first things first. Now that the official candy holiday is over, do you have a ton of it left over? Maybe you live in a neighborhood that has a ton of kiddos and planned just right. We had 4 trick or treaters which I was pretty excited about since we are new to the 'hood, and live on a dead end street. Thank goodness we picked up candy "just in case". 

Anyway I thought I'd share this great recipe called "Crazy Bark" from Pioneer Woman. It's fantastic because you can add pretty much any candy and kids will love to help make it! And everyone will love to help eat it. 

 It's so simple to make. Start by melting a package of white almond bark in a double boiler. Or if you have the magic touch use a microwave-I don't so hence the double boiler. Anyway line a baking sheet with a single layer of chocolate graham crackers and when the bark is done melting spread over the crackers. This is the fun part-sprinkle the top with different candies, firmly pushing down the larger pieces as you go along. Then put it in the fridge to cool down and set. 
I used crushed oreos and M&M's the first time I made it and called it good. Plus I forgot to pick up the peanuts and pretzels. 

First batch of "Crazy Bark"

The second time making it I made sure and had an actual list when I went to the grocery store. Which included the peanuts and pretzels. I also added gummy bears and sour gummy worms and this is the batch I mailed to Bryce, Brooklyn and Briley in their Halloween package.  

Crazy Bark is crazy fun to make and crazy good. If you like candy. 
Speaking of that, gotta go. It freezes well and sounds really good. 

Thanks for reading, have a super week! Can't believe it's already November. It's officially baking season! Yay! 

It's a great day to be alive~make it a great day!
