Ingredients
  

Chocolate Base
  • 12 oz Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips high quality
  • 0.5 tbsp Coconut Oil to help with smooth melting
White Chocolate Layer
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Chips or Vanilla Baking Wafers high quality
  • 0.5 tbsp Coconut Oil to help with smooth melting
  • 1-2 drops Pink or Red Oil-Based Food Coloring optional for the white chocolate
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Valentine Themed Sprinkles hearts and pearls
  • 1/4 cup Freeze Dried Strawberries or Raspberries for a natural pop of color
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt to balance the sweetness

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl,
  • Offset Spatula
  • Toothpick or Knife

Method
 

Prepare the Surface
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures your bark releases easily once it is set.
Melt the Dark Chocolate
  1. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the semi sweet chocolate chips with half a tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring well between each until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Spread the Base
  1. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto your prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer about one fourth of an inch thick. You do not need to cover the whole pan; just create a nice rectangle.
Melt the White Chocolate
  1. Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate chips and the remaining coconut oil. If you want a pink swirl, add a drop of red food coloring to the white chocolate now.
Create the Swirl
  1. Drop spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate onto the dark chocolate layer. Use a toothpick or a knife to gently swirl the two chocolates together. Be careful not to over mix or you will lose the beautiful marble effect.
Add Finishing Touches
  1. While the chocolate is still wet, liberally add your sprinkles, freeze dried fruit and sea salt. Press them down very lightly to ensure they stick.
Set and Break
  1. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least one hour until completely firm. Once set, use your hands or a sharp knife to break the bark into irregular rustic pieces.

Notes

Always ensure your bowls and spoons are completely dry as even a drop of water can cause chocolate to seize. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate to prevent melting. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. For variations, try adding chopped nuts or use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
