Can I use other chocolate?

Of course!  I like to use the regular chocolate but you can definitely use white almond bark just keep the amount the same. You can switch up the colors of the candy melts too.

What else can I add to these?

You can definitely add some mix-ins.  You can use any of your favorite nuts like peanuts, almond or cashews. Ypu can also top this with flaky sea salt.

How long do these stay fresh?

This candy stays fresh in an airtight container at room temp for up to 7 days.   

Ingredients

• Cornflakes-  I like to use the unfrosted cornflakes as the frosted ones would be too sweet.
• Butter- You can use salted butter or unsalted butter, I use unsalted.
• Light brown sugar-  This provides that caramel flavor.
• Chocolate almond bark-  This is the topping and you can use any chocolate you like.
• Red candy melts- Just for drizzling.  You can use any color you like.
