Equipment
- Rimmed Baking Sheet 13x9 pan was used for this recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup red candy melts
- ½ cup white candy melts
- ½ cup blue candy melts
Optional
- 1 Teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smooth melting
- 1 Tablespoon sprinkles red, white, and blue star sprinkles
- ¼ cup M&Ms red, white, and blue
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Begin by melting the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Add ½ teaspoon coconut oil for smooth melting. I prefer to use Instant Pot but You can do this in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared tray, spreading it into an even layer.
- Allow this layer to harden completely. You can speed up this process by placing the tray in the refrigerator.
- Also melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as before. Add ½ teaspoon coconut oil for smooth melting. Once melted, pour it over the hardened semi-sweet chocolate layer.
- Let this white chocolate layer harden completely before proceeding.
- Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts separately. You can use small piping bags or a spoon to drizzle each color over the hardened white chocolate layer.
- Use a toothpick to swirl the colors gently, creating a marbled effect. Do this before the candy melts harden to ensure a smooth pattern.
- Sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles and M&Ms over the top while the candy melts are still slightly soft to ensure they stick.
- Allow the entire tray to harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator if you're in a hurry.
- Once fully set, lift the bark out of the tray using the edges of the parchment paper and break it into pieces by hand.
- Your colorful chocolate bark is ready to be served! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
