Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups white chocolate chips
  2. 1 cup green candy melts
  3. ½ cup mini marshmallows
  4. ½ cup crushed pretzels
  5. ¼ cup sprinkles (green)

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely covered and smooth.
  2. Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  3. Add white chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, using a silicone spatula.
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula to create a thin, uniform layer approximately ¼ inch thick.
  5. Melt green candy melts in a separate bowl using the same double boiler method, stirring until completely smooth.
  6. Drizzle the melted green candy melts over the white chocolate base in a zigzag pattern, creating a decorative swirl effect.
  7. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the green and white chocolates together, creating a marbled appearance.
  8. Immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows, crushed pretzels, and green sprinkles evenly across the surface of the bark.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  10. Once hardened, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
  11. Store the St Patrick's Day Candy Bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips

  1. Temperature is Key: Make sure your chocolate melts slowly and smoothly. Use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  2. Get Creative with Swirling: The marbling technique is an art form! Don't overthink it – let your toothpick create natural, organic swirls.
  3. Chill Out: Refrigeration is crucial for getting that perfect snap when you break the bark. Patience pays off!
  4. Customize Your Toppings: While this recipe uses pretzels and marshmallows, feel free to add your own Irish-inspired touches like green M&Ms or shamrock-shaped sprinkles.
  5. Storage Matters: Keep your bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its crisp texture and prevent melting.
  6. Pro Hack: For extra festive flair, consider using gold sprinkles or edible gold dust to represent the legendary leprechaun's treasure!
