Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 8 oz dark chocolate candy melts
- 4 oz bright pink vanilla candy melts
Toppings
- Conversation hearts (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Spread a piece of parchment paper over a cookie sheet to create a non-stick surface for the chocolate bark.
- Melt dark chocolate: Place the dark chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval to prevent burning, until completely melted and smooth.
- Melt pink candy melts: Repeat the melting process with the bright pink vanilla candy melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl.
- Spread dark chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it into an even layer, ensuring it’s not too thin to maintain structure.
- Drizzle and swirl pink melts: Quickly drizzle the melted pink candy melts over the dark chocolate layer, then use a toothpick or spatula to swirl and create a marbled effect.
- Add conversation hearts: Quickly scatter the conversation heart candies over the swirled chocolate before it begins to harden, pressing them lightly to ensure they stick.
- Set and cut: Allow the bark to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality candy melts for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Work quickly when swirling and placing hearts, as the chocolate sets fast.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- For a glossy finish, temper the chocolate melts before spreading.
- Feel free to substitute conversation hearts with other small candies or sprinkles for variation.
