Next, sprinkle the mini marshmallows and jelly beans all over the bark.
Finally, generously sprinkle with the rainbow jimmies sprinkles.
You will have to add these items rather quickly as the bark begins to harden within 5 minutes and then nothing will stick to it.
Chill for 1 hour to allow the bark to completely harden.
Once chilled, break into pieces and serve.
ENJOY!!
