Pumpkin Bark - Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?

Give extra thanks to those holiday guests with clear gift bags of pumpkin-laced sweets. And may we suggest to tie the goodie bags with fall-hued ribbons? After all, if every one is already eating all day, what's one more treat to take home?

To start, melt 20 ounces (about 5 standard chocolate bars) of white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until completely smooth. Next, combine 1/2 cup pumpkin purée or pumpkin butter with the melted white chocolate and pour the mixture (spreading it out evenly) onto a baking sheet that's been lined with parchment paper. Put it in the refrigerator to set until firm -- about 45 minutes. Once set, remove from the baking sheet and break the bark into bite-size pieces.

Got any other fall-flavored barks? Leave them in the comments!
