Cherry White Chocolate Skittle and Lifesaver Bark {DIY Creations with Wrigley Candy for the Holiday}

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas/happy holiday.

I had 3 Christmas' this year and I'm sad it's over, but I'm so lucky that I was able to celebrate with all the people I love.


I asked Santa for money this year so I could have some reconstruction done to my site by Southtown Creative.  I highly recommend it!

Anyway, sorry for the short hiatus, but it's been a busy week.  Since I'm sure you all have, too, I'm posting an easy recipe today.

Wrigley kindly sent me a humongous box of candy (this did not influence any opinions) and asked, “How do YOU use Wrigley gum and confections in your entertaining, celebrating, or DIY-ing?"

Amy Atlas is an amazing sweets stylist, so I've got nothing on her, but I made some bark.  It was a long shot, but it ended up tasted really good and the kids in my family really enjoyed it.  I really think it was the addition of the cherry flavoring.  Without it, the chocolate would have been too overpowering.
