White Chocolate Snowman Bark Recipe

Introduction

White Chocolate Snowman Bark is a festive and fun treat perfect for the holiday season. Made with creamy white chocolate and colorful candies, this easy-to-make bark adds a cheerful touch to any dessert table or gift basket.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white baking chocolate
• ½ cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, cut in half
• ½ cup straight pretzels, broken in half
• ¼ cup white sprinkles
• 2 Tbsp red candy balls
• 1 Tbsp candy eyes
• 1 tsp orange candy triangles or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the white baking chocolate in a microwave-safe container using 15 to 30 second intervals. Stir well after each interval to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
2. Step 2: Spread the melted chocolate evenly onto a sheet of parchment paper to about ¼ inch thickness, forming a flat slab.
3. Step 3: While the chocolate is still soft, arrange the mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, broken pretzels, white sprinkles, red candy balls, candy eyes, and orange candy triangles evenly over the surface. Gently press them into the chocolate so they stick well.
4. Step 4: Place the chocolate bark in the refrigerator and allow it to harden completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
5. Step 5: Once firm, break the bark into smaller, snowman-shaped pieces or shards and enjoy.

FAQs

Can I use regular white chocolate instead of baking chocolate?

Yes, you can use regular white chocolate chips or bars, but make sure to melt them slowly and carefully to avoid burning or seizing.

How do I prevent the bark from melting too quickly?

Store the bark in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Serving it chilled or at room temperature helps keep it firm longer.

Chocolate Base

• 1 cup white baking chocolate

Toppings

• ½ cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, cut in half
• ½ cup straight pretzels, broken in half
• ¼ cup white sprinkles
• 2 Tbsp red candy balls
• 1 Tbsp candy eyes
• 1 tsp orange candy triangles or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate: Place the white baking chocolate in a microwave-safe container. Heat in 15 to 30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly each time to prevent burning, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Spread the chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper. Use a spatula to evenly spread it into a slab approximately 1/4 inch thick for optimal texture and breakability.
3. Decorate with candy: Before the chocolate cools and sets, quickly arrange the candy toppings. Press mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, broken pretzels, white sprinkles, red candy balls, candy eyes, and orange candy triangles firmly onto the melted chocolate surface to ensure they stick well.
4. Chill to set: Transfer the chocolate slab to the refrigerator and allow it to harden completely. This typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on fridge temperature.
5. Break into pieces and serve: Once fully hardened, remove from the fridge and break the bark into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

• If the white baking chocolate seizes or becomes grainy, gently reheat it with a teaspoon of vegetable oil or shortening to restore smoothness.
• Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
• Experiment with different festive candies and sprinkles for variation.
• Store bark in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to maintain crispness.
• Be careful not to overheat chocolate to avoid a burnt taste.
