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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
