Pro Tips
- Be sure to use high-quality chocolate because it melts smoothly.
- Gently swirl the chocolate when you take it out of the oven. Otherwise, it will harden fast. Then, place the candies on top so they will stick to the chocolate as it hardens.
- Use parchment paper underneath the chocolate to lift it out of the tray easily after it hardens.
Step-By-Step Instructions


Spread parchment paper on a cookie sheet and lay the chocolate bars on top. Bake the chocolate bars for five minutes and remove them from the oven. Take a knife or toothpick and swirl it through the chocolate, creating ribbons.


Sprinkle the M&Ms, pretzels, and sprinkles all over the chocolate while it is still hot. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate is hard.

Storage
Break the chocolate into pieces! Keep the candy in a sealed bag. It can stay at room temperature, but it might get soft. I recommend keeping it refrigerated.
