How to make this ultimate Christmas bark
First lay out wax paper onto a large baking sheet.
Then pour the melted chocolate chips onto it, smoothing with a spatula to create a large rectangular “sheet” of chocolate.
Next spread half your pretzels over the chocolate, followed by all of your almonds. Swirl everything lightly to mix it in.
Continue by pouring a layer of melted white chocolate on top, and give it another very light swirl to get a marbled look.
Top with M&M’s, more pretzels, and a generous amount of sprinkles.
Finally refrigerate for at least 2 hours to harden, then break into pieces and serve!
