Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Move the oven rack to the second lowest position.
Spread a 2-inch layer of used bark in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Mist the bark with water until it's evenly moistened throughout.
Cover the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil. Insert an oven thermometer through the foil in the center of the pan, burying the thermometer probe in the bark.
Bake the bark for 30 minutes, or until the thermometer reads at least 180 F. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bark to cool to room temperature.
Use the bark immediately or leave it covered in the pan until you are ready to use it. The foil cover keeps the bark sterile.
