Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz white chocolate chips
Toppings
- 1/4 cup Valentine sprinkles
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup conversation heart candies
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the chocolate doesn’t stick and creates an easy surface for removal once set.
- Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each to achieve a smooth, even texture.
- Spread Chocolate: Pour and spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate evenly onto the prepared parchment paper, creating an even base layer.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same 30-second interval method until fully smooth.
- Drizzle and Swirl White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet chocolate layer and use a toothpick to gently swirl the two chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, Valentine sprinkles, and conversation heart candies evenly across the top of the chocolate bark while it is still soft.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Serve: Once firm, break the chocolate bark into pieces and serve or package for gifts or parties.
Notes
- You can substitute with milk or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for different flavor profiles.
- Add crushed cookies or nuts on top for extra texture and crunch.
- Store the finished chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week to maintain freshness.
