HUGE TIP!
Be sure to melt your almond bark in a glass bowl. The bowl will become hot and help the almond bark to melt, so you will not need to microwave it for as long. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and then microwave for 30 second intervals and it should only take 2 times of 30 second intervals. Be sure to stir between the microwave times.
