We are slightly obsessed with snowmen as proven by this alphabet block snowman craft, this snowman magnet craft, this melted snowman ornament, this wooden peg snowman craft or this cork snowman ornament. Clearly we love our snowman so it made total sense to create this cute snowman bark this year.
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 pantry.
It is called “bark” because once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark.
Seriously, how darling are these chocolate snowman?! They are super fun to create and make a great holiday activity for the kids!
I just love how this slab of white chocolate looks with all of the cute candy snowmen in it!
How to make snowman chocolate bark:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white baking chocolate
- 1/2 cup mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, cut in half
- 1/2 cup straight pretzels, broken in half
- 1/4 cup white sprinkles
- 2 Tbsp red candy balls
- 1 Tbsp candy eyes
- 1 tsp orange candy triangles or sprinkles
Directions:
1. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 15 to 30 second intervals, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Spread the melted chocolate out onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.
3. Add candy to the melted chocolate before it cools. Use the Reeses for a hat, two candy eyes, an orange nose and a row of red candy balls. Add pretzels for arms. Press larger pieces of candy into the chocolate so that it really “sticks”.
4. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before breaking into “bark” sized pieces.
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 small 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.
