How to make Christmas Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
As always the full detailed recipe can be found at the end of the post on the recipe card. This section is just a summary of the recipe.
- White Chocolate bars- Either cooking Chocolate or regular Chocolate bars
- Milk Chocolate Bars -Either Cooking Chocolate or Regular Chocolate Bars
- Broken Chocolate Chip cookies-Shop bought or Homemade- Try my Chocolate chip cookie Recipe
- Hundreds and Thousands Sprinkles- Or any colourful type Sprinkle will do
- Smashed Candy Canes- I placed the candy canes in a paper towel and bashed with a hammer. Or you could leave the Candy canes whole-your choice. (I find smashed candy canes give a more minty flavour to the chocolate
- Marshmallows)
- Smarties- They look like colourful little Christmas Baubles!
The Basic Steps
- Pre heat the oven
- Place 4 bars of chocolate on a lined baking tray
- Place on the bottom shelf of the oven for 2-3 minutes (mine took 2 1/2 minutes ). Test with a skewer, if it sinks all the way through, their done. You don’t want the chocolate to turn into a puddle, it should still hold its shape(see video on recipe card)
- Immediately drag a skewer through the chocolate blending each into the other
- Sprinkle with smashed Candy Canes, Chocolate Chip cookies, Marshmallows, Smarties and Sprinkles
- Place in the fridge to set/harden for roughly 30 minutes
- Once set, break into pieces and serve
How to Store Christmas Chocolate Bark
Store at room temperature for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container
Can you keep it in the fridge? Yes, but be aware the cookies may go a little soft
Can you Freeze Christmas Chocolate Bark?
Absolutely, just place a wax type piece of paper between each piece of bark, wrap in cling film and pop in a freezer bag for up to 2 months
