Equipment

Ingredients

11 ounces white chocolate chips such as Ghirardelli (1 x 11-ounce bag)
50 to 70 red M&M candy cut in half
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
confectioners sugar for dusting

Instructions

Prep. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Melt chocolate. Add the 11 ounces of white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and is smooth.
Add some texture 👉 Stir in some chopped pistachios and dried cranberries into the melted white chocolate.
Chill. Pour about 1 ½ tablespoons of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to help the chocolate spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or until set.
Chop candy. Meanwhile, break each M&M in half.
Melt chocolate. Melt the ¼ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave until melted.
Decorate. To decorate, gently peel the paper liner off each piece of set white chocolate bark and place it on a flat surface.
Using a toothpick, place a small dab of melted chocolate on the broken end of each M&M using a toothpick. Press three M&Ms onto the bark at a time, arranging them into groups as shown. Repeat to create the decorative pattern.
Dust. Lightly dust the finished bark with confectioners' sugar. It adds a festive touch and helps conceal any imperfections!
