SUPPLIES NEEDED
Candy Coating
Crunch
Melt  candy coating, add any amount of a crunchy food
product (depending how crunchy you want) and spread
on waxed paper.  The thinner you spread out the bark,
the easier it will be to break up.   *To cut in neat pieces,
when candy is "just set" score into squares.  When
candy is hard, it will break into squares.
Shown: 
Tiger Butter (Top)  Melt one pound peanut butter coating and spread on parchement paper.
Spoon on about 1/4 cup of melted milk chocolate flavored coating over the melted peanut
butter coating.  Marbleize with a knife.  When candy is "just set" score into squares.  When
candy is hard, it will break into squares.
