How to Make Valentine’s Day Cookie Candy Bark
Prep the Cookie Sheet: Begin by lining a standard cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the candy bark from sticking, making it easier to break apart later.
Melt the Almond Bark: Break the almond bark into pieces and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each. Continue until the almond bark is smooth and fully melted.
Spread the Bark: Pour the melted almond bark onto the prepared cookie sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the sheet, creating a thin, smooth layer.
Frosted Swirl Effect: Mix a small amount of pink or white frosting with a spoonful of extra melted almond bark. Drizzle the mixture over the almond bark. Use a toothpick or fork to swirl the frosting into the melted almond bark to create a frosted effect.
Decorate with Cookies and Sprinkles: Top the frosted bark with as many Valentine’s Day-themed cookies as you'd like. Gently press the cookies into the candy bark to ensure they stay in place. Add your favorite Valentine’s Day sprinkles for extra flair.
Let it Set: Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the almond bark is completely set and firm.
Serving
Once the candy bark has set, break it into pieces along the edges of the cookie sheet. Enjoy these colorful and festive chunks of chocolatey goodness—perfect for sharing with friends or gifting to loved ones!
