Pioneer Woman Crazy Bark Recipe Ingredients

• 1 (20-ounce) package white almond bark
• 16 whole chocolate graham crackers
• 1 cup pretzel sticks
• 1 cup broken chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
• 1 cup gummy bears
• 1 cup gummy worms
• 1 cup sour gummy worms
• 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
• 1 cup candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M’s
• 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

How To Make Pioneer Woman Crazy Bark

1. Melt the almond bark: Break the almond bark into pieces and place them in a glass bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (a double boiler). Stir occasionally until the bark is completely melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. Create the base: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the chocolate graham crackers in a single, tight layer on the baking sheet.
3. Pour the bark: Pour the melted almond bark evenly over the graham crackers. Use an offset spatula to spread it completely, covering the crackers from edge to edge.
4. Add the toppings: Immediately sprinkle the pretzel sticks, broken cookies, all the gummy candies, peanuts, and candy-coated chocolates evenly over the wet almond bark. Gently press the toppings down with your hands to help them adhere.
5. Chill until firm: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until the almond bark is completely hardened.
6. Break and serve: Once the bark is set, break it into irregular pieces. Sprinkle with the rainbow sprinkles just before serving.

Recipe Tips

• How do I melt almond bark without burning it? Using a double boiler (a bowl set over simmering water) is the safest method. It provides gentle, indirect heat that prevents the bark from scorching. Stir it occasionally for a smooth, even melt.
• How do I get the toppings to stick? After you scatter all the toppings over the wet almond bark, gently but firmly press them down with the palm of your hand. This embeds them slightly into the bark so they won’t fall off after it hardens.
• Can I use different toppings? Absolutely! That’s why it’s called “crazy bark.” You can customize it with any of your favorite candies, nuts, dried fruits, or broken cookies.
• How do I get clean breaks? The key is to make sure the bark is thoroughly chilled and completely firm. If it’s still soft, it will bend and crumble instead of breaking into clean, sharp pieces.

How To Serve Crazy Bark

This fun, colorful bark is a perfect party treat. Serve it by:

• Piling the pieces on a large dessert platter.
• Placing it in festive tins or bags as a party favor or holiday gift.
• Breaking it into smaller pieces to use as an ice cream topping.

How To Store Crazy Bark

Store: Store the crazy bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you’re stacking the pieces, place a layer of wax paper between them to prevent sticking.
