 Oreo Candy Corn Bark is a fall favorite and an easy to make treat!
I like to make as a simple sweet gift for friends.


Last month I was going stir crazy waiting on Baby Ava to arrive. I cleaned, organized, crafted, made freezer meals….and still no baby and nothing to do! So I decided to make a Thank You gift basket for the Labor and Delivery nurses at the hospital.
I chose to make 2 “no bake” items: Candy Corn Bark and Peanut Butter Lover Bars. 

Scroll down for the Candy Corn Bark recipe and the Thank You basket instructions.

Oreo Candy Corn Bark

Ingredients

  • 10 Oreo cookies chopped
  • 3/4 cup broken small pretzel sticks
  • 12 ounce bag of white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line an 8×8 baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread the cookies and pretzels in the bottom of a lined pan.
  • Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in
  • the microwave, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from the heat
  • while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth.
  • Drizzle chocolate with a spoon over the goodies in the pan, spreading the top flat to coat evenly.
  • Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Let cool until firm.
  • Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth. 

White chocolate burns easily.

 Drizzle chocolate with a spoon over the goodies in the pan, spreading the top flat to coat evenly.

 
 Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Let cool until firm.

Nurses Thank You Gift Basket

For a simple yet heartfelt thank you gift basket simply wrap up a few tasty treats (I like cookies and dessert bars, since they stay soft for a few days) and include recipe cards with the dessert recipes for the recipient to remake at home. You can also store in the refrigerator until ready to gift if you want to make sure they stay fresh. 
I also found a foam frame at Walmart and decorated it with baby scrapbook stickers and letters spelling out Thank You.
Then inside the frame I typed a description of what goodies were in the basket. 
The nurses loved it and were so sweet and appreciative!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
