twizzlers with almond bark
Back in the '70s, I went into a Topsy's, at the Antioch Shopping Center. There were these beautiful "Twizzlers Sticks With Christmas Sprinkles". They wanted $1.25 each for these things. So, I inquired as to how they made them. They told me that they were licorice-type candy and rolled in almond bark. I had never heard of almond bark and now the rest is history. I bought almond bark and Twizzlers and thus created my own. Far less than $1.25 each. I buy my candies at the Dollar General.

What a cute tasty Christmas treat to keep on hand for the holidays. Red Twizzlers are already festive but adding white chocolate and Christmas sprinkles make them super cute. Anything dipped in chocolate is just better! We opted to only use the white chocolate almond bark. But if you use chocolate, these would taste like a chocolate-covered strawberry or cherry. Perfect for kids to help prepare and for holiday gift-giving. We just see one problem... not eating them all before you give them to friends and family.
