Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Decorations

  • 10 to 12 store-bought or homemade gingerbread cookies
  • 1 tablespoon mini red and green M&M’s
  • 1 teaspoon red and green nonpareils
  • 1 teaspoon red and green jimmies

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully smooth and melted.
  2. Add Spices and Salt: Stir in ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and kosher salt into the melted white chocolate until evenly combined to create a festive spiced flavor.
  3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  4. Pour and Spread the Chocolate: Pour the spiced white chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  5. Add Decorations: Immediately press gingerbread cookies onto the chocolate, then sprinkle the mini red and green M&M’s, nonpareils, and jimmies evenly over the top for a festive and colorful presentation.
  6. Allow to Set: Let the bark sit at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  7. Break into Pieces: Once firm, break the bark into irregular pieces for serving or gifting.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Customize the spices to your taste by adjusting the quantity of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan white chocolate chips.
  • Press decorations gently into the chocolate before it sets to ensure they stick well.
