Instructions:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Add in the vegetable oil and mix well.
Pour the melted chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the chocolate evenly with a spatula, making sure it is about ¼ inch thick.
Sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate, pressing them gently into the surface.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Once the chocolate has set, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and break the bark into small pieces.
Store the Christmas bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
