Why You’ll Love This Valentine Chocolate Bark

• Seriously, this is one of the easiest candy bark recipes you can make and you can pick your own favorites to go on top. Easy to customize to your liking for the Valentine’s Day Holiday!
• I’m partial to jelly and gummy candies and the conversation hearts are super popular, so all I need to finish it off was some sweet Valentine’s color coordinated sprinkles!
• Use whatever chocolate base you want before adding your candies and sprinkles, but we used a white chocolate and swirls of pink for the romantic vibe!

Ingredients You Need for Valentine’s Day Chocolate Bark Recipe

• 10 ounces Chocolate Melts, extra colored pink candy melts if adding swirl or see how to make swirl colored in instructions.  I love Ghirardelli chocolate melts.
• Valentine Candies, any kind you want!
• Sprinkles

About the Chocolate Melts

• For the chocolate, I love Ghirardelli Melting Chocolate Wafers.  It’s delicious for fondues and candy dipping as well! 
• The wafers melt smoothly and set up firmly when used.  They are perfect to use with cake pops, fruits, and adding an extra sweet taste to your baked goods.
• There’s no need to break or chop bar and it melts more evenly with same size wafers and it has a Zip-up pouch, which makes it easier to portion out product and makes it easier to store between uses.
• Wilton Candy Melts is another good choice and they have many colors.  Of course you can melt down chocolate chips as well or chopped candy bars, but do use a good quality chocolate, so you get great tasting chocolate, right? RIGHT! 🙂
• We used white and pink colors for our bark, but you could use dark chocolate, milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate for the base of the bark if desired.

Instructions How to Make the Valentine Chocolate Bark Recipe

1. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 10 ounces of chocolate melts in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl at 20 or 30-second intervals until completely melted, make sure to stir in between each interval to properly temper your chocolate.
2. If you are adding a colorful swirl to the chocolate bark, take about 3-4 tablespoons of your melted chocolate into another container and add some type of oil based color to color your candy melts. Do not use water-based as this will seize up your chocolate.  The only way to maybe salvage it is to add some vegetable or canola oil to it, but not guaranteed.  Use something like Wilton Candy Colors or something similar.  It’s concentrated oil-based colors that blend easily with candy melts.  Or to simplify, just buy some pink colored wafers and and melt them.  Set aside to make the chocolate bark.
3. Pour the chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it out in an even layer using the back of a spoon or offset spatula.
4. Add the colored chocolate by pouring it randomly over the chocolate.
5. Using a knife, toothpick or lollipop stick, make swirling motions all over the pan to combine chocolates together.
6. While the chocolate is still melted, add candies and decorative sprinkles on top.
7. Place Valentine chocolate bark in fridge for at least one hour. Once it is set up, break into pieces and serve.

Storing Your Valentine Bark

• Once the chocolate is set and broke into pieces, store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, ideally less than 70ºF. Properly tempered chocolate will keep for several weeks at room temperature and doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
