Christmas Avalanche Bark

This is seriously yummy stuff!

It makes a great gift...you can cut squares and individually wrap them and tuck them in a cute little container. Or you can purchase small disposable containers and split the mixture into two smaller pans that have their lids. Pop a bow on top and add a gift tag!

This is a great recipe to involve the little baker in your life. Kids can assist in measuring the ingredients and stirring the chocolate into the cereal (be cautious with the hot melted chocolate).

For a cookie exchange idea, simply "drop" the mixture onto waxed paper by the tablespoonful instead of pouring it into the pan.
