It’s a candy, it’s cookies, and it definitely counts! I know this one seems like it shouldn’t really be in the count, but everyone is short on time during the holidays. Anyone can make this recipe and do it fast. That is why I chose to include it.

Nothing is more American than a convenience cookie. This recipe can be followed or adapted to utilize whatever is in the pantry. You can also call this recipe clean out cookie bark. Just empty the pantry and pour anything you find onto the melted chocolate. I make bark with a wide array of toppings and seasonal themes. It’s is super easy and always impresses anyone present.

The recipe is completely malleable and can be custom tailored to your liking. I chose a trio of common cookie flavors, but you can top it however you like. I had a small amount of Reese’s Pieces in the pantry that I chopped and put on top of the white chocolate. This is an easy fix for when you don’t have time to bake but want to bring a sweet gift to a friend.

Sprinkle the chocolate with the chopped cookie pieces before it sets. Set the pan aside and allow the chocolate to harden.
Place the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-loc bag with the corner snipped off. Drizzle the cookie bark with white chocolate to finish.
