Serves 8

Ingredients

• ¾ cup puffed rice cereal
• 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet or white chocolate chips
• 1 (1/3-ounce) package red Pop Rocks candy
• 1 (1/3-ounce) package blue Pop Rocks candy

Directions

Active time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes


Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Put cereal in a medium bowl and use hands to crush 3 or 4 times; set aside. Microwave chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl on high for 30 seconds. Stir well and repeat 2 or 3 more times, until completely smooth. (You can also heat chocolate in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.) Stir in reserved cereal. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and spread into a 10" x 12" rectangle. Sprinkle Pop Rocks evenly over top. Chill until completely firm, about 1 hour. Break bark into pieces and serve.
