Chocolate tree bark –Gather around, chocolate lovers! Today, we’re diving into a delightful treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat—Easy Chocolate Shaving Tree Bark. This simple recipe will have you creating a sweet masterpiece that’s sure to impress your friends and family. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Before we jump into the delicious fun, let’s make sure we have everything we need:
- 2 cups of dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips
- 1 cup of colorful sprinkles (your choice!)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional for a smoother texture)
- Wax paper or parchment paper for cooling
Step 2: Melting the Chocolate
To create the perfect base for our tree bark, we need to melt the chocolate. Here’s how:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.
Step 3: Creating the Bark Base
Next, let’s form the bark. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper, spreading it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula to make it as smooth as possible!
Step 4: Add Some Magic with White Chocolate
Now it’s time to turn up the design factors! Melt the white chocolate in the same way you did the dark chocolate, then drizzle the white chocolate over the dark layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl it together creatively for a beautiful marbled effect!
Step 5: Add Flavor and Fun
Sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the top as generously as you like! This is where you can get creative—feel free to use nuts, dried fruits, or any candy pieces you adore!
Step 6: Let It Chill!
Pop your baking sheet into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set. Once it’s firm, remove it from the fridge and break it into pieces just like bark!
Step 7: Enjoy Your Creation
Serve your Easy Chocolate Shaving Tree Bark at your next gathering, or package it as a delightful gift. This treat is not only visually stunning, but it also delivers on flavor in every bite. Happy munching!
