I could go on and on about how bark is the ultimate homemade candy to make when you want an easy edible gift to hand out, but all you really need to know is this:

This takes two ingredients to make. You only need your microwave. It’s melty, creamy, sweet-and-tart magnificence with a candy crunch.
Here’s how you make it:

Those two ingredients you need? White chocolate and lemon drop candies. That’s it. You can choose white chocolate chips or melts or whatever suits your fancy, but choose one that contains cocoa butter for a smoother, easier melting experience. You’ll need a half a cup of lemon drops.

Divide that half cup of candies up so two-thirds are in a ziploc bag and the remaining third are in another. Crush the bigger portion into fine pieces with a rolling pin or a can of soup or any sturdy heavy object you have nearby, and then crush the remaining third with a lighter hand, so they’re in bigger chunks.

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring it every thirty seconds until it’s smooth and velvety, and then pour it into a pan lined with parchment paper. Add the smaller candy pieces and stir it all up, then top it with the larger candy pieces. Chill. Break. Enjoy.

Could that be any easier? I doubt it. It’s hard to imagine that it could be any tastier either… that tart lemon and milky melty combo is a keeper.
