Grinch Bark is just like any holiday bark, but it is made with green candy melts. The fun green color and the red heart sprinkle will remind you of the Grinch.
It is a fun and festive treat to make this holiday season.

How to Make Grinch Bark:

Can Grinch Bark be made ahead of time?
Yes, this is the perfect dessert to be made ahead of time. Not only is the recipe easy to make, but it is great to prepare ahead of all of your holiday baking.
This is my favorite way to make this as I can have it stocked and ready for any holiday gathering.
Variations:
- Add Variety of Candy Melts – Feel free to melt white candy melts to drizzle over the top. White Chocolate Candy Christmas make for a fun and festive look on the Grinch Candy.
- Sprinkles – Use different candies on top. You can use bright colors or different colors of M&M’s.
- Mix in Nuts – Add nuts to the top or in the chocolate.
- Peppermint Candy – To add to the fun and festive look, you can chop up some candy canes to add to the top of the bark.
- Use Different Chocolate – Try using milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a change. We like using candy melts as they come in a variety of colors.
Grinch Bark Tips:
- Room Temperature – Allow the bark to come to room temperature before breaking so that the layers do not separate.
- Break Bark – If the bark is difficult to break with your hands you can use a wooden spoon to gently help. Don’t break into sizes to small. I like to keep the pieces in larger pieces.
- Melting Candy Melt – Slowly melt the candy melts in the microwave. You want to melt in 30 second intervals until candy melt is melted. Use a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate.
- Line Baking Sheet – Line baking sheet with parchment paper before pouring the melted chocolate. This will help with cleanup.
Can you Freeze Grinch Chocolate Bark?
If you want to freeze Grinch bark, allow it to harden after making. Then wrap Christmas bark in plastic wrap and place in a air tight freezer container. When you are ready to serve, thaw in the refrigerator.
This makes it possible to make the Grinch Bark ahead of time.
