Ingredients
- 10 oz high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 4 oz ruby or pink chocolate, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup rosé gummy bears or rosé-flavored candy pearls
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries
- 1/4 cup mini pretzels, broken up
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows or meringue bits (optional)
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds or pistachios (optional)
- Edible gold leaf or gold sprinkles (optional)
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Line an 11×17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Measure and prep all toppings before starting.
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the dark, white, and ruby chocolates in 30-second bursts, stirring after each. Alternatively, melt gently over a double boiler. If chocolate seizes, add 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and stir.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment and spread into a rough rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Dollop spoonfuls of melted white and ruby chocolate over the dark base. Swirl with a skewer or knife tip to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
- While chocolate is still wet, scatter rosé gummies, freeze-dried berries, pretzel bits, marshmallows, and nuts evenly over the surface. Press larger pieces in gently.
- Sprinkle with edible gold leaf or gold sprinkles and finish with flaky sea salt.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge and chill until firm, about 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, let set at room temperature if cool enough.
- Lift the set bark out using the parchment. Break into irregular pieces with a sharp knife or your hands.
- Arrange the bark on a serving board, filling gaps with extra gummies, berries, or fresh flowers if desired.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best results. Have all toppings ready before spreading chocolate, as it sets quickly. For vegan or gluten-free, use dairy-free chocolate and marshmallows, and gluten-free pretzels. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month. The bark is highly customizable—swap toppings as desired.
