Make Honeycomb Bark

Melt one bag of yellow candy melts in the microwave in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring each time until smooth. Place a piece of bubble wrap that's been washed and dried on a cookie sheet and spread melted yellow candy out in a 1/4-inch thick layer. Let cool at room temperature, or refrigerate 15 minutes.

Break the Bark

When the candy is hardened, flip it over so that the plastic bubble wrap side is up, then slowly and gently peel off the bubble wrap. Break into random, organically shaped 4-inch pieces. Place pieces on a work surface lined with parchment paper and set aside.
