Pastel Layered Chocolate Bark
Prep: 15 minutes
Yield: 15-20 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 (11 ounce) package white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
- 1 (11 ounce) package milk chocolate chips or chocolate almond bark
- 1/3 cup pastel M&Ms
- 2 tablespoons seasonal sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons sanding sugar
Instructions
Line a 9×13 baking dish or baking pan with parchment paper or waxed paper.
In a double boiler over medium heat, melt milk chocolate while stirring often until smooth.
Pour the milk chocolate into prepared pan, smoothing the chocolate out across the whole pan.
In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the white chocolate while stirring often until smooth.
Carefully pour the white chocolate over the milk chocolate and spread it into an even layer.
Using a toothpick create a swirl pattern in the chocolate. Be sure not to over swirl, which can create a “muddy” look.
Sprinkle M&Ms on top of the chocolate, lightly pushing them in place to secure them if needed.
Finish the bark by decorating with sprinkles and sanding sugar.
To harden, place the pan into the freezer for about 20 minutes until completely solidified.
Break bark into pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate.
