My Christmas bark and fruit bark were so delicious and fun to make that I knew I needed a Valentine’s Day version! Using pink and white chocolates and candy, I made the yummiest Valentine’s Day candy bark. I love how it’s not only super easy to make, but also so easy to clean up after! And the best part was breaking it up and putting them into gift bags for all of my friends to get everyone in the Valentine’s Day spirit! Today I’ll be showing you exactly how I made it along with detailed notes and links to my gift bags and ingredients – so you can recreate this sweet treat for your friends and family!
Today I’m showing you how to make the Valentine’s Day version of my favorite easy treat, of chocolate bark!
Chocolate bark is simply chocolate with your choice of toppings!
This pomegranate bark I made is so delicious all year round – and can be made with any delicious fruit.
My favorite part of chocolate bark is using whatever toppings your heart desires! Before the Valentine’s Day candy bark, came the Christmas chocolate bark. This treat was so festive and fun, I knew I wanted to make another one for Valentine’s Day.
Pre-heat the oven to the lowest temperature it will go – around 120-170 F. Place wax paper on a baking sheet.
Place chocolate bars on the prepared sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes.
Melt pink candy melts separately in a bowl in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Plop the pink evenly onto the melted white chocolate.
Using a cookie stick, swirl the chocolates together.
You’ll want to avoid over mixing because it’ll just turn into one color versus swirls.
Sprinkle the chocolate with M&M’s and mini pretzels (or whatever toppings you’ve chosen).
Lightly toss sprinkles over the toppings and then allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for a couple of hours – or overnight.
You’ll want to avoid putting it in the fridge because the candy will condensate and ruin the color. Also, if you use pretzels, they’ll become chewy in the fridge.
Gently remove the chocolate from the pan by lifting the wax paper edges. Place on a cutting board and cut into whatever sized square you like.
If you’re giving these out as gifts, I recommend using cellophane bags and twist tie bows to make it special!
