Valentines Day Candy Bark Recipes

VALENTINE BARK

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees.
• Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet (preferably with sides).
• Sprinkle morsels onto parchment paper.
• Place in oven until morsels melt (about 5 or so minutes-I don't really time it-I just check on the morsels).
• Spread morsels evenly over the parchment paper with a spatula.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon heart candies.
• Allow to cool (for quick cool I place the pan in the freezer for about 5 minutes).
• Break apart and divide into baggies if giving for gifts.
• Makes about 10 snack size baggie servings.

VALENTINE'S DAY CANDY BARK

Steps:

• Place parchment paper on a baking sheet, preferably with sides. I used a (15-1/2" x 10" x 1") baking sheet. Set baking sheet aside.
• Place the white chocolate chips in a double boiler; melt the morsels over a low simmering heat on top the stove. Be sure to stir the chocolate as it's melting. (I found it can take anywhere between 5-10 minutes to melt the chocolate.)
• Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Using a heat-proof spatula; quickly spread-out the melted chocolate, as evenly as you can on the baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon heart candies over the white chocolate. Allow to cool. (To set up the candy bark quickly, place baking sheet in your refrigerator freezer for just 5 minutes.)
• Once removed from the freezer, you'll have noticed that the candy bark will separate from the parchment paper. Break up the candy bark with your hands, and either place in individual baggies to give as gifts, or place in a tin, or an air tight container. No refrigeration is required.
• Note: When I made the Valentine Bark, I made a bit more than the recipe called for. I used 2-(12 ounce) bags of the white chocolate morsels, and a bit larger baking sheet. (A 17-1/4" x 11-1/4" x 3/4" baking sheet to be exact.) I didn't use an entire cup of the cinnamon candies, I just sprinkled on desired amount.

VALENTINE'S DAY UNICORN BARK

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each interval.
• Place candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls and melt in the same way, stirring after each 10-second interval.
• Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a thick rectangular shape. Add dollops of melted pink and blue candy. Swirl the colors together using a clean spatula to create fun patterns.
• Add marshmallows, sprinkles, and heart candies while the chocolate is still melted. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Break up bark into large, irregular pieces.
