DIY White Chocolate Leprechaun Bark
St. Patrick’s Day is the feast day of St. Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland and up until fairly recently I hadn’t really considered getting involved with this celebration, however, after taking a DNA test a couple of years ago I discovered that there’s actually quite a lot of Irish in me!
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death in 461. Green is now commonly connected with this celebration, so why not make something fantastic and delicious (and green) to share with your friends and family at home?
So, what is chocolate bark? Chocolate bark is a thin layer of chocolate filled with mix-ins like nuts, cookies, candies, pretzels, dried fruit, or toffee bits. The sheet of decorated chocolate is then broken into pieces that resemble tree bark with scraggly edges and random shapes.
This recipe uses simple ingredients to make the process super quick and easy, but still produces something fabulous. Why not give it a go yourself?
Prep: 25 Minutes
Serves: 8 (depends on how much you break it down)
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. bag Ghirardelli’s white chocolate wafers
- 12 oz. bag Sweet Tooth Fairy green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon St. Patrick’s Day Glitter Pearl Sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon gold sanding sugar
- 1 package Airheads Xtremes Sour Candy, Rainbow Berry
- 10 Lucky Charms Marshmallows four leaf clovers
Instructions:
Melt green candy melts and white chocolate wafers. Pour the white onto a smaller baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add green candy melts into different places and swirl with a knife. Smooth out carefully with a spatula.
Quickly before the candy melts and chocolate dries add the green sprinkles, airheads rainbows (cut), gold sanding sugar, and four leaf clovers marshmallows.
Let the bark dry then break into sections for serving. Store in a bag in the fridge.
