Easy Chocolate Bark Recipe

It is so easy to make chocolate bark! With just 2 ingredients, this easy recipe for chocolate bark produces a marbled bark that is delicious and pretty! It is a great recipe to make to give to friends, or to just enjoy as a decadent treat. 

Sometimes simple desserts are best.

Especially when it comes to chocolate. A piece of dark chocolate all on its own is usually enough to satisfy, but I also like to dress it up a bit and make simple marbled chocolate bark.

Marbled chocolate bark makes a delicious treat, is perfect to give as a gift, and is super fun to make during Halloween months--the marbled chocolate looks like a spider's web. 

I also love to use this chocolate bark to dress up cupcakes or cakes. Fancy and impressive--yet so easy!

Chocolate Needed

To make marbled chocolate bark you need two colors of chocolate. I personally prefer to use dark chocolate an white chocolate, but a combination of semi-sweet and white chocolate works as well.

As for the type of chocolate, you can use chocolate chips or chocolate bars chopped into small pieces. Free free to use dairy-free or vegan-friendly chocolate if needed as well.

I do NOT recommend almond bark for this recipe. While it melts beautifully, it is not as flavorful or rich as regular chocolate.

How to Make Chocolate Bark

This recipe for chocolate bark requires a few steps, yet they are all super easy! One tip to keep in mind when making bark is to work quickly. Once your chocolate is melted, it is best to assemble the chocolate bark within 5 minutes before the chocolate has time to harden.

• Place the dark or semi-sweet chocolate into a heat-safe bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.
• Once the chocolate is melted, repeat the process with the white chocolate.
• Pour the melted dark or semi-sweet chocolate onto a silicone mat or piece of parchment paper and using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the chocolate out into a thin even layer.

• Place a pastry bag or sandwich bag in a tall glass and drape sides over the rim of the cup and then fill with the melted white chocolate.
• If needed, cut off a small tip off the corner of one side of the piping/sandwich bag.
• Pipe swirls or circles randomly over the dark chocolate.

• Using a toothpick, a skewer, a butter knife, or even a fork, run lines through the white chocolate, creating a marbled, or spider-web-like effect.

• At this point, allow the chocolate to harden. You can do this at room temperature or place your chocolate bark in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
• Once the chocolate has hardened, break the bark into chunks and serve or package for gifting.

Storage

It is best to store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 2 weeks. I find refrigeration is best if your house is warmer than 65 degrees F.
