Galaxy bark is our next addition to our space-themed treats. Bark candy is always fun to make since it’s so easy and relatively hard to mess up.

Galaxy Bark is Easy and Fun to Make

There’s something therapeutic about making galaxy bark. First of all, swirling all the colors together to create your own personal galaxy is soothing. Then, once it’s cool and ready to break, cracking the candy is most definitely satisfying.

Bark candy is always a hit at parties. Using candy melts to create limitless designs and colors, there’s a good chance you can always create bark to match your party theme.
