This festive, no-bake candy bark is a colorful and delicious treat perfect for patriotic celebrations like the 4th of July or Memorial Day. With vibrant swirls of red, white, and blue, it's as fun to make as it is to eat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup red candy melts
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 cup blue candy melts
- Red white, and blue sprinkles
- Red white, and blue M&Ms or similar candy-coated chocolates
- Wax or parchment paper
- Toothpick or skewer for swirling
Instructions
- Prepare the surface: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Melt the candy melts: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the red, white, and blue candy melts according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the white chocolate: Pour the melted white candy melts onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them into a rectangular shape using a spatula.
- Add red and blue swirls: Spoon the melted red and blue candy melts over the white chocolate in a random pattern.
- Create the swirl effect: Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the red and blue candy melts into the white chocolate, creating a marbled effect.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles and M&Ms evenly over the surface.
- Set the bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Break into pieces: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and break the bark into irregular pieces.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the bark pieces on a serving platter and enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- For a smoother texture, you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil to each color of candy melts before melting.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with other red, white, and blue candies or edible glitter for extra sparkle.
- Store the candy bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
