Making milk chocolate bark at home is one of my favorite quick treats because it comes together in just 35 minutes from start to finish. This recipe is wonderfully simple, requiring no baking skills, and the ingredients are budget friendly since you probably have most of them in your pantry already. I love using cranberries in mine because they're packed with antioxidants that make indulging feel a little bit better. The beauty of bark is that you can really customize it with whatever mix ins you enjoy, so feel free to swap things around based on what you have on hand.
