Description

This Valentine’s Day chocolate bark is an easy no-bake treat featuring layers of rich semi-sweet and white chocolate, adorned with festive sprinkles and heart-shaped candy pieces. It’s perfect for gifting, parties, or a quick sweet surprise that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum charm.

Ingredients

Chocolate Layers

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
  • Pink or red oil-based food coloring (optional)

Toppings

  • Valentine sprinkles
  • Conversation hearts or candy hearts
  • Crushed cookies or pretzels (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the chocolate bark.
  2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread dark chocolate: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  4. Melt white chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  5. Tint white chocolate: If desired, add a few drops of pink or red oil-based food coloring to the melted white chocolate and gently stir until evenly colored.
  6. Swirl chocolates: Pour the tinted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in dollops, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the two chocolates together for a marbled effect.
  7. Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle Valentine-themed sprinkles, conversation hearts, and optional crushed cookies or pretzels over the top so they stick before the chocolate sets.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the chocolate bark for 20–30 minutes or until completely firm and set.
  9. Serve: Break the bark into irregular pieces and serve, or package as festive gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips or bars for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Ensure no water gets into the chocolate while melting to avoid seizing.
  • Store the chocolate bark in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
  • This chocolate bark makes a delightful and easy-to-make edible Valentine’s Day gift.
