Chocolate bark is primarily made of chocolate chips or chocolate wafers that are topped with a mixture of candy, nuts or sprinkles. It’s most commonly made by melting the chocolate in the microwave and lasts up to three months in the panty.
This Valentine candy bark recipe is a great way to make a fun festive treat or easy Valentine dessert.
It is called “bark” because once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark. This Valentine’s Day chocolate bark is seriously fun and makes a great addition to any festive party or gathering!

Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup red and pink M&M chocolates
- 2 Tbsp pink and red sprinkles
- 1 Tbsp red heart candies
**this recipe has been updated with white chocolate candy melts.
Directions:
1. Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe container. Melt in intervals of 15 to 30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Spread the melted pink chocolate out onto a sheet of parchment paper. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.
3. Add candy hearts and M&Ms. Press the candy into the chocolate so that it really “sticks”.
4. Add sprinkles to the melted chocolate.
5. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before breaking into “bark” sized pieces.
I love the combination of pink and red candy sprinkled all over the chocolate!
Tips for making chocolate bark:
- Use candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
- Pour chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before breaking into pieces.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife or dry hands when breaking the bark otherwise the colour from the candy tends to rub off if there is any moisture present.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months. It can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the bark from melting.
How fun is this?! It’s seriously one of our favorite valentine candies and a great recipe for the kids to make.
