Marbled Chocolate Bark
Skip the boxed chocolates this year and make this easy and delicious swirled chocolate bark instead. The perfect confection to give to friends, neighbors, and co-workers this Valentine’s Day. Top with edible flowers or pink and red sprinkles for a festive touch!
Making this pretty as can be chocolate bark could not be easier. Simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 12 ounces of 70% dark chocolate {use the good stuff!} and 4 ounces of white chocolate separately in bowls over a double boiler. Once melted and smooth, use an offset spatula to spread the dark chocolate evenly over the parchment lined baking sheet, until about 1/4 inch thick. Next, use a spoon to place dollops of the melted white chocolate randomly across the top of the dark chocolate. Use a toothpick to swirl the white chocolate and then place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to set. Top with edible flowers or sprinkles before chilling. To serve, just break apart the chilled bark into pieces.
Hope you found a little something {or a lots of somethings} that you can’t wait to share with your honeys this Valentine’s Day. If you’re like me and can’t decide on just one, I say make a few and treat yourself. Be sure to follow along on Instagram where we are celebrating all things chocolate all month long!
