I have been so inspired by some of the sweet treat barks I have seen in the blogs lately...
That creative inspiration sparked me to make my own bark... using great fall flavors...
I call it HARVEST TIME BARK.
This bark would be a fabulous hostess or teacher gift... a fun find in a little one's lunch box...or something to have nearby to satisfy that sweet tooth craving...
I started out with gingersnap cookies...and mini gingersnap vanilla filled cookies... oh YUMMY...
And then I went a little crazy from there! I did not measure the portions of the ingredients... just sorta sprinkled here and drizzled there and it all worked out!
I hope you will give it a try!
StoneGable Harvest Time Bark
gingersnap cookies broken into pieces
gingersnap cream filled cookies, broken in half
pecans
caramel square candy, wrappers removed
toffee bits
( if you can't find Wilbur's use chocolate chips)
M&M's~ fall colors
butterscotch chips
(if you cant find Wilbur's use white chocolate chips)
fall sprinkles (I used little orange pumpkins)
Spread out broken gingersnaps, gingersnap cream cookies and pecans in a large rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment.
Melt caramels in the microwave at 50%. Watch ... they melt quickly... and could burn. Drizzle caramel over cookies.
Sprinkle toffee bits over the caramel.
Let the caramel harden.
Sprinkle toffee bits over the caramel.
Let the caramel harden.
Melt chocolate in microwave and pour over bark. Add butterscotch chips and M&M's over chocolate. The butterscotch chips will begin to melt into the chocolate.
Let harden.
Add M&M's and sprinkles.
Let harden.
Break and pull off of the parchment.
YUMMY!
* Most chocolate confection wafers taste pretty bad! I only use Wilbur's~ they taste great, not waxy at all! If you cannot get Wilbur's wafers use baking chips.
Looks cute, Yvonne, and yummy!

ReplyDeleteUntil last year I lived in Lititz for 17 years. My first fond memory of when we moved to Lititz was driving through town with my windows down and smelling chocolate. What a joy it was to live in a small town with a chocolate factory. I grew up on Hershey's chocolate but I am a Wilbur girl now. We moved to Pittsburgh last year but my kids are still in school at West Chester so stops at Wilbur are often planned. Love your site and all your tips and recipes. Plus when I read you I still feel connected to Lancaster. : ) Kim
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I am not a huge fan of all things "bark", but you won me with the ginger snaps! This looks SO yummy, and pretty too!!
ReplyDeleteI received a box of dark chocolate Wilbur Buds one year for Christmas-VERY GOOD! Your bark sounds like a great treat Yvonne-enjoy:@)

ReplyDeleteCrazy yummy Yvonne! Love your pictures and thanks for the recipe! xox
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of gingersnaps but with the addition of all the scrumptious ingredients, I think this one is well worth trying. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI think this is one that I will definitely try. Love gingersnaps. I also have a recipe that my MIL made called Pepparkokor cookies, which was a Swedish ginger cookie. FIL was Swedish and loved them.
ReplyDeleteLooks really yummy and went mad when I see this. I must try this with my friends for this Halloween for sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this recipe! I love gingersnaps! Where did you find cream-filled gingersnaps? I've never seen them.
ReplyDeleteI bought these yummy ginghersnap at our local grocery store. I bet they will be coming out soon!
DeleteDoes anybody know the quantities of ingredients? THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteThere really are no measurements. I just bought all the ingredients and used what I had! Just have fun! My thought is, "It's not rocket science". So just use what you think is right!
ReplyDeleteHope this helps!
