This is a little treat I made for my Dad for his birthday. Quick and easy, it is a great college dessert.
Vanilla Almond Bark
1 cup (6 oz) almonds
16 oz vanilla almond bark (or white chocolate)
Chocolate Peanut Bark
1 cup (6 oz) peanuts
16 oz chocolate almond bark or milk chocolate (dark chocolate would also be tasty!)
Preparation
Place the nuts in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin (I used a hammer lol)
Spread the crushed nuts in a thin layer on a cookie pan and bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. When done, set aside to cool.
Melt the almond bark/chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat it for 30 seconds, followed by 10 seconded intervals, while stirring in-between till the almond bark/chocolate is completely melted.
Stir in toasted nuts.
Place wax paper on a cookie sheet and spread the candy out in a thin layer. If you are making both, I drizzled a bit of the other almond bark/chocolate on each bark for fun.
Place in fridge to cool.
And that's all there is to it! I adore the Vanilla flavor with the almonds. Perfect for a small get together.
