Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Super Simple Chocolate Bark

I was in the mood for some chocolaty goodness the other night and decided to make some bark with Boogie. Here is a super simple recipe that only takes minutes from start to eating. Its fun for the kids and a great treat to snack on...if you like chocolate.

We started with a package of quick-melt chocolate that we bought at the grocery store and decided we would add raisins and pretzels. You can use anything you like dipped in chocolate, sometimes we also add peanuts and marshmallows but we didn't have those handy.


Melt the chocolate. We used the microwave and cooked in 1 minute increments for the first two minutes and then did two times at 30 seconds, stirring in between to melt evenly and avoid burning.
We then added pretzel stix (any pretzels will do) you can break them up first for smaller pieces, but we found that the stix break up pretty easy while stirring so we just poured them in.

Then we added a healthy portion of raisins. Craisins are really good too.



Get one of the kids (or all of them) to stir up the mix...shirts are optional



When all add-ins are completely coated and you have a good mix of add-ins to chocolate, spread out on a sheet tray. The thinner the better as it's easier to eat that way.



Pop in the freezer or fridge and let it set. We put ours in the freezer for 5 minutes. Take out and break into random sized pieces and enjoy. We put ours into storage containers and keep in the fridge. It's just as fun to make as it is to eat...almost!
