I’ve never had buckeye bark before. These sound delicious!
Oh YUM! Boy, could I go for some of that with my coffee right now!!
Can you tell me the best way to cut? I made some last year but couldn’t get them to cut very good….still were yummy.
Placing it in the freezer with a really sharp knife helps.
Oh my! This looks so good! Will be making for sure 🙂
looks so good but way too fattening
This bark looks amazing! I pinned this for sure! Checking this out from the chef in training link party 🙂

Both 🙂

Mmmm I love anything buckeye! What a great idea to turn it into a bark.
Oh my! I love buckeyes – especially being an Ohio girl – but I hate the dipping and rolling! Can’t wait to try this! Stopping by from the Kitchen Fun Hop.
Your Buckeye Bark will be a very special treat! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you have a great weekend!

I am from Ohio and have made MANY Buckeyes. But you have to have an empty refrigerator to chill the balls on cookie sheets. This recipe sounds WAY easier, and I will do this next year for Christmas.
Question: Can you be more specific about “chocolate candy coating?” Did you use chocolate chips or something else?
Thanks!
Almond Bark is the true name. I am going to add a picture of it too!
I’m officially obsessed! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
