One of my favorite treats during Christmas is Peppermint Bark. Not only is it yummy and easy to make, it can be transformed into a fun treat for so many other holidays. A few years ago, I put together a Halloween bark with candy corn and candy eyes and it was a big hit. I figured since those two are so good why not make a Valentine’s Day bark?
I put together this Valentine’s Day bark for Alex’s class Valentines party and it was a big hit. Like I turned around from the snack table for 5 minutes and it was all gone! It only takes a few ingredients, comes together super quick and makes it look like you spent a bunch of time making this yummy treat.
Valentine's Day Bark
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 12 oz bag white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pink candy melts (optional)
- 1/2 cup conversation hearts
- 1/2 cup M&Ms (or any other candy you like)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler, melt your semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Once completely melted, transfer to parchment lined baking sheet and spread into a thin layer.
- Place baking sheet into fridge to let chocolate set quickly.
- While the semi sweet chocolate is setting, melt your white chocolate chips in the double boiler.
- Pour melted white chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread to cover the semi-sweet chocolate layer.
- While the white chocolate is still liquid, press conversation hearts, M&Ms and other candies into the white chocolate.
- Melt your candy melts in your double boiler and sprinkle it over the bark to create swirls.
- Place in fridge to set completely for 30 minutes.
- Once completely set, break into small pieces and enjoy!
The best part about this Valentine’s Day Bark is that you can totally customize it with whatever your favorite candies are. While we were picking out conversation hearts to put into the bark, I was surprised to see that these were not the conversation hearts of my childhood. I remember them saying things like Be Mine, but these conversation hearts are asking people to slip into your DMs. You know you’re old when the candy makes you feel old!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you make your own Valentine’s Day Bark, be sure to share it and tag me on Instagram!
