Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time until smooth.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the melted chocolate evenly in a thin layer on the parchment paper. Remember, the thinner you spread it, the thinner the bark will be!
Sprinkle a little salt over the melted chocolate if desired, then add the M&Ms and mini marshmallows, making sure they touch the chocolate. Give them a gentle press to help them stick, so when the chocolate sets, all the candies stay in place.
Pop the sheet into the freezer to let it set (around 20 minutes).
Once the bark has hardened, break it into smaller pieces. Use the tip of a butter knife, gently rocking it back and forth to help it break apart easily. Or, just use your hands to snap it into pieces!

Notes

For an allergy-friendly version, select gluten and dairy free ingredients. Before enjoying, remove from the freezer and let it sit for approximately 10 minutes to allow the marshmallows to soften up. The thickness of your bark can be adjusted by how thickly you spread the chocolate; a thinner spread results in thinner bark, while a thicker spread creates a chunkier bark. And if you prefer it even a little sweeter, opt for semi-sweet or milk chocolate instead of the dark chocolate!
