Equipment

Ingredients

1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (I use Pillsbury brand)
1½ cups milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup M&M's (any variety m&m's, I like minis)
flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare a quarter sheet pan (9x13 pan) by lining with parchment paper.
^{*If you don't have a quarter sheet pan you can use a rimmed cookie sheet (13"x18") but don't press the cookie dough out to cover the whole pan, but rather about in a 9"x13" rectangle shape.}
Slice the roll of chocolate chip cookie dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay the cookie dough slices down on the parchment paper (in rows and columns to form a rectangle shape). Press each cookie dough slice down to flatten slightly and connect them together to form an even thickness layer.

Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the dough chill for 20 minutes. We're not baking the dough, but just freezing it.
Place the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it's nice and smooth.
1½ cups milk chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Once the cookie dough has firmed up in the freezer, pour the melted chocolate over top and use a silicone spatula or offset spatula to spread it out into an even layer over the cookie dough layer.
Sprinkle the m&m's generously across the top and finish with a pinch or two of flaky sea salt.
1/2 cup M&M's, flaky sea salt
Freeze the whole tray for at least 1 hour.
Once frozen solid, break or slice the cookie dough bark into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

- When pressing the cookie dough into the pan, cover your hands with parchment paper or wax paper to keep the dough from sticking. It creates a clean barrier and helps you press the dough evenly, leaving no mess and no fuss.
- You can keep the bark stored in the fridge or freezer, depending on your preference for firmness.
- If the cookie dough roll is super soft, chill it for 10 minutes before slicing to get cleaner cuts and to make it easier to cut.
- Use any chopped candy for the top of the cookie dough bark - chopped Reese's, any variety of M&M's, or chopped candy bars.
- Make this for any holiday by simply using the holiday M&M's.
