Celebrate Valentine’s Day with this delightful Chocolate Bark recipe featuring layers of smooth dark and white chocolate, accented with pink candy melts and festive Valentine’s Day candies and sprinkles for a visually stunning and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layers

  • 1½ cups dark chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces (3 4-ounce bars) white chocolate baking bars
  • ¾ cup pink candy melts

Decorations

  • ¼ cup Valentine’s Day candy (such as heart-shaped candies or themed chocolates)
  • 2 tablespoons Valentine’s Day sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the bark later. Set aside.
  2. Melt dark chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir well, then continue heating in 15-20 second increments, stirring thoroughly each time until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread dark chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper and spread evenly in a thin layer using a spatula.
  4. Allow to set: Let the dark chocolate rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes until mostly set but still slightly soft.
  5. Melt white chocolate: Break the white chocolate bars into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir well, then continue heating in short increments with frequent stirring until completely smooth.
  6. Melt pink candy melts: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the pink candy melts starting with 30 seconds, then continue heating in 15-20 second increments, stirring well each time until smooth and melted.
  7. Layer white chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and spread quickly, as it will harden fast.
  8. Drizzle pink melts: Before the white chocolate sets, drizzle the melted pink candy melts over the surface.
  9. Create marbled pattern: Use a toothpick to gently swirl through the pink and white layers to create a marbled effect, being careful not to disturb the dark chocolate layer beneath.
  10. Add decorations: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the Valentine’s Day candy and sprinkles evenly over the top.
  11. Cool and set: Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until completely hardened.
  12. Serve: Once fully set, break or cut the bark into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor and texture.
  • Ensure frequent stirring while melting chocolate to avoid burning.
  • You can refrigerate the bark to speed up the setting process, but room temperature cooling preserves the best texture.
  • Customize decorations based on preference or other holidays.
  • Handle the bark gently while swirling to maintain distinct layers.
