Ingredients
For the Chocolate Base:
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 8 oz milk chocolate, chopped
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers or cookies
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)
- ¼ cup mini marshmallows
- 1–2 sheets edible gold leaf (or gold dust for shimmer)
- Optional: candy-coated chocolates, crushed pretzels, caramel bits
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate:
- Place dark, milk, and white chocolate in separate microwave-safe bowls.
- Heat each bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Alternatively, use a double boiler for a more controlled melting process.
2. Create the Swirl Effect:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the dark chocolate onto the sheet, spreading it evenly.
- Drizzle the melted milk and white chocolate over the dark chocolate.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the chocolates together for a marbled effect.
3. Add the Toppings:
- Immediately sprinkle rainbow sprinkles, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, and mini marshmallows over the swirled chocolate.
- Lightly press the toppings to ensure they adhere.
- Add edible gold leaf or gold dust for a luxurious touch.
4. Set the Bark:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or until fully set.
- Once firm, break the chocolate bark into irregular pieces for a rustic look.
