Easy Red White and Blue Bark Recipe
This red white and blue chocolate bark is an easy patriotic dessert made with layers of chocolate, colorful candy melts, festive sprinkles, and M&Ms. Perfect for 4th of July parties, summer BBQs, and holiday dessert trays, this no-bake treat is as fun to make as it is to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- ½ cup red candy melts
- ½ cup white candy melts
- ½ cup blue candy melts
- 1 tablespoon red, white, and blue star sprinkles
- ¼ cup red, white, and blue M&Ms
Instructions
-
Line a 13x9 baking tray or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Add the semi-sweet chocolate morsels to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
-
Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared tray and spread it into an even layer. Let it harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
-
Melt the white chocolate morsels using the same method. Pour the melted white chocolate over the hardened chocolate layer and spread evenly. Allow the white chocolate layer to fully set.
-
Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts in separate bowls. Drizzle each color over the white chocolate layer.
-
Use a toothpick to gently swirl the candy melts together to create a marbled effect.
-
Immediately sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles and M&Ms over the top while the candy melts are still soft.
-
Let the bark harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate until fully set.
-
Lift the bark from the tray using the parchment paper and break it into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
