INGREDIENTS

1lb of white chocolate
1 pkg of almond bark.
1-2 cups of peanut butter depending on how peanut buttery you want it.
1/4 to 1/2 a lb or pkg of melted milk chocolate almond bark.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a double boiler melt the white chocolate ,

2. Once smooth stir in the peanut butter till well blended.

3. Pour into a 9X13 casserole/cake pan that’s been lined with heavy Saran wrap.

4. Drizzle melted milk chocolate over the top,making s motions back and forth in one direction across top of peanut butter mixture.

5. Taking a butter knife or chopstick, swirl the opposite grain of the dark chocolate making a pretty tiger striped patter in the top being careful not to drag too deep.

6. Cool and let set up ,

7. Cut into squares and serve.

Also you can use almond bark in either dark or white, melted and mixed with different nuts to make nice treats as well simply add nuts and drop by spoon-fulls onto waxed paper until set

if you want to be more elaborate, crush pecans or walnuts and spread onto a cookie sheet, take unwrapped caramels and melt. drop by spoonfuls onto the nuts. once the caramel cools and sets you can then take the nuts and caramels onto a fork and dip into melted chocolate to make your own turtles.

or the simplest yet most versatile is to melt the almond bark and dip pretzels into the chocolate and then follow with sprinkles of a holiday festive color .
