Hi Leigh Anne,
My very first job was at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Seaside, OR. Avalanche bark was one of my favorites (to make and to eat!)! We actually didn’t flatten out the top when we made it… we mixed in some mini chocolate chips and then sprinkled more on top and left it lumpy looking.

Another variation was called Tiger Bark. It was just the peanut butter & white chocolate portion and then flatten it out smooth in the pan. Drizzle with melted milk chocolate and pull the knife through it.

A few others that we did at RMCF were Oreo bark and Mint Oreo Bark. White chocolate (with or without green mint flavoring) & crushed oreos. Spreak in pan and then put one oreo on top of each serving and let it harden.

Enjoy! Love your website!

Hi Leigh Anne~

I’m getting ready to make this, but I have a hard time when it comes to melting the chips. Any pointers? Mine always seem to lump up. Doesn’t seem to matter if I microwave or use a double boiler. I have a similar recipe using vanilla bark. It is called Georgia Bowl Candy.

2 pounds of vanilla bark
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups rice crispies
2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup mini marshmellows

Always a hit! I’m trying yours too! Looks delicious.
