Notes
Katie's Tips:
*If you feel the mixture is too dry, melt the final three blocks from the almond bark and pour over mixture and combine.
*Use any M&Ms you enjoy. I used 1 cup peanut and 1 cup peanut butter.
*Change up the ingredients! This is just a guideline.
*Stock up on the Almond White Bark at the holidays when it is stocked in your local grocery store. I buy 2 or 3 bars at a time to always have some on hand.
*Give this to people as a holiday gift in a festive container.
