Ingredients

Chocolate Layers

  • 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 oz. white chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup heart-shaped sprinkles
  • ½ cup red and pink M&M’s
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure the bark can be easily removed once set.
  2. Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth.
  3. Spread Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly in a smooth layer.
  4. Chill the Base: Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 15 minutes or until the semi-sweet chocolate layer is fully set and firm.
  5. Melt White Chocolate: While the base is chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same 30-second interval method, stirring until smooth.
  6. Spread White Chocolate: Once the semi-sweet chocolate is set, pour the melted white chocolate gently over the top and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  7. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows, heart-shaped sprinkles, red and pink M&M’s, and optional chopped nuts evenly over the white chocolate layer. Press them down lightly so they stick well.
  8. Sprinkle Sea Salt: Add a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors with a subtle salty contrast.
  9. Final Chill: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes, allowing all layers to fully set and harden.
  10. Break into Pieces: Once completely chilled and firm, remove the bark from the baking sheet and parchment paper, then break it into irregular pieces or cut into squares to serve.

Notes

  • If you prefer a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • You can customize toppings with other candy or nuts as desired.
  • Be careful not to overheat chocolate while melting to prevent burning or seizing.
