BUGLE BITES

Steps:

• 1. Melt the almond bark in a double boiler (or microwave, if you're so inclined). Remember not to let moisture get in or the almond bark will get chunky. Start with half a package of almond bark.
• 2. After almond bark is melted, pick a bugle with a nice wide opening and dip the open end into the almond bark...
• 3. Top with an M&M. Looks almost like an ice cream cone, or they could be little horns of plenty using fall colored M & Ms
• 4. Lay on wax paper to cool and harden. [Pop in fridge to cool if you're pressed for time].
