Reindeer Corn Cookie Bark


This recipe is from Your Homebased Mom and I thought that it would make a great visiting teaching gift. I had trouble finding reindeer corn but after a long search I found it at a candy counter. I didn't find the holiday Oreos and I was thinking that the mint ones might be really good but I chickened out since this was my first try. I used almond bark it was cheaper and I used the whole 1 lb. 8 oz. I made two batches so I just split the Oreos evenly between the two so that I wouldn't eat a third of the package myself and that would have been no problem for me.

14 whole Oreos, broken up
1 1/2 C pretzels, broken into pieces - I used the small stick pretzels
1 lb. white chocolate, almond bark or melts found in the bulk food section
1 C reindeer corn - 1/2 pound if you have to buy from the candy counter
red and green colored sprinkles

Cover a large cookie sheet with wax paper. Spread broken cookies, pretzels and about 3/4 C of the candy corn onto the waxed paper. Place white chocolate in a container and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth. White chocolate melts faster and burns easier than chocolate.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie mixture, spreading with spatula if needed to coat evenly. Sprinkle remaining candy corn and colored sprinkles over the chocolate while it is still wet. Do not let it harden. Place cookie tray into refrigerator until set and firm. Remove and gently break bark into small pieces. Store in air tight container.
