Description

Northern Lights Candy Glow is a mesmerizing, galaxy-inspired treat that features vibrant swirls of color and shimmering edible glitter to mimic the beauty of the aurora borealis. This candy bark is made with white chocolate and colorful candy melts, then sprinkled with rock candy, edible stars, and glow-in-the-dark accents for a stunning edible display—perfect for parties, gifts, or themed events.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Colored Candy Melts

  • ½ cup purple candy melts
  • ½ cup blue candy melts
  • ½ cup green candy melts
  • ½ cup pink candy melts

Toppings and Decoration

  • Edible glitter or shimmer dust
  • Rock candy pieces or crushed hard candy
  • Edible stars or sprinkles
  • Glow-in-the-dark sugar or luster dust (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the candy bark once set.
  2. Melt the white chocolate. Place white chocolate or white candy melts in a heatproof bowl and melt them gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully smooth. Optionally, stir in coconut oil to achieve smoother melting and glossier texture.
  3. Melt colored candy melts. In separate small bowls, melt each color of candy melts (purple, blue, green, pink) using the same method, stirring until smooth and ready to pour.
  4. Spread the white chocolate base. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick to form the base of your candy bark.
  5. Apply colored swirls. Immediately drizzle the melted colored candy melts over the white chocolate base in swirls or stripes to mimic the northern lights.
  6. Create the swirl effect. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together on the surface, creating a beautiful aurora-inspired pattern.
  7. Add decorative toppings. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle edible glitter, rock candy pieces, edible stars or sprinkles evenly over the surface. For an extra magical touch, add glow-in-the-dark sugar or luster dust that will shine under blacklight.
  8. Allow the candy to set. Let the candy bark harden at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  9. Break and serve. Once set, break the candy bark into shards for serving or package them as beautiful gifts.

Notes

  • To make the candy extra magical, serve it under a blacklight to highlight the glow-in-the-dark elements.
  • You can customize the colors of candy melts using gel food coloring if desired.
  • Store the candy bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
