Individual ingredients for Valentine's Day Candy Bark Recipe Including almond bark and sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet
    Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Set aside.

  2. Melt the Milk Chocolate Layer
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate melting wafers or almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula. Let it set for about 15-20 minutes or until firm.

  3. Melt the White Chocolate Layer
    In a clean microwave-safe bowl, melt the white (vanilla) melting wafers using the same method. Pour the white chocolate over the milk chocolate layer, spreading it evenly.

  4. Add the Festive Touch
    Before the white chocolate hardens, generously sprinkle your Valentine’s Day sprinkles all over the top. Press down lightly to help them stick.

  5. Set and Break
    Allow the candy bark to cool and set completely. This may take 30 minutes at room temperature or less time in the fridge. Once firm, use your hands to break the bark into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Package for Gifting
    Place the bark pieces in a cookie tin lined with parchment or wrap them in cellophane. Add a festive ribbon for the finishing touch.
