Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup green candy melts
Toppings
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup festive sprinkles (shamrocks or gold stars)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Melt white chocolate. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring after each to ensure smooth consistency without burning.
- Combine green candy melts. Divide the melted white chocolate in half; mix one half with the green candy melts until fully integrated and smooth.
- Create marbled base. Pour the plain white chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the green chocolate mixture over it, then use a spatula or skewer to swirl together, creating a marbled effect.
- Add toppings. Immediately sprinkle the pretzel sticks, mini marshmallows, and festive sprinkles generously over the marbled chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Set the bark. Refrigerate the baking sheet for about one hour, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Serve. Once firm, break the bark into pieces and serve for a festive and delightful treat.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is not overheated to avoid grainy texture.
- Use festive sprinkles to enhance the St. Patrick’s Day theme.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep crisp.
- For a nut-free version, confirm that the candy melts and sprinkles do not contain nuts.
