- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup
- White Chocolate Chips: ¾ cup
- Pink Candy Melts: ½ cup
- Valentine’s Sprinkles: Assorted, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Spread the Base Layer:
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a rectangular shape.
- Melt the White Chocolate and Pink Candy Melts:
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white chocolate chips and pink candy melts using the same method as above. Once melted, combine them and stir until smooth.
- Create the Swirl Effect:
- Drizzle the pink-tinted white chocolate mixture over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the two chocolates together to create a marbled effect.
- Add Festive Sprinkles:
- Immediately sprinkle the Valentine’s-themed sprinkles over the swirled chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
- Set the Bark:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate bark to chill for about 45 minutes, or until fully set.
- Break into Pieces:
- Once firm, remove the bark from the refrigerator and break it into pieces of desired size.
