What You’ll Need For This Patriotic Chocolate Bark
How To Make Patriotic Chocolate Bark
Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. I used a 13×9 pan.
Begin by melting the semi-sweet chocolate morsels. You can do this in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared tray, spreading it into an even layer.
Allow this layer to harden completely. You can speed up this process by placing the tray in the refrigerator.
Melt the white chocolate morsels using the same method as before. Once melted, pour it over the hardened semi-sweet chocolate layer.
Let this white chocolate layer harden completely before proceeding.
Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts separately. You can use small piping bags or a spoon to drizzle each color over the hardened white chocolate layer.
Use a toothpick to swirl the colors gently, creating a marbled effect. Do this before the candy melts harden to ensure a smooth pattern.
Sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles and M&Ms over the top while the candy melts are still slightly soft to ensure they stick.
Allow the entire tray to harden completely. If you can’t wait to devour this patriotic chocolate bark, toss it in the refrigerator to set faster.
Once fully set, lift the bark out of the tray using the edges of the parchment paper and break it into pieces by hand.
Your patriotic chocolate bark is ready to be served! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
Important Recipe Notes
Melt the candy melts in 30-second intervals. Anymore than that can cause the chocolate to burn or get hard and clumpy. Make sure to stir the candy melts in between each interval.
Decorate the chocolate bark any way you’d like. You can follow these instructions and swirl the chocolate, or you can create a different design. Add any sprinkles or toppings of your choosing! The goal is for this chocolate bark is to look patriotic, so any red, white and blue toppings will work!
