Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz Bag of white chocolate baking chips divided into two bowls
  • ¾ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
  • Gold candy sprinkles
  • green food coloring

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a large baking sheet with either a parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then set aside.
  2. Divide the bag of white chocolate chips into two microwave-safe bowls: one with ⅓ cup, and another with ⅔ cup. (Use disposable paper plates for easy cleanup.)
  3. Melt the larger portion of white chocolate chips in the microwave, stopping and stirring every 20 seconds to prevent it from turning clumpy or grainy.
  4. Once melted, pour the white chocolate onto the lined baking sheet, then spread it to form a large rectangle.
  5. Microwave the smaller portion of white chocolate chips, stopping and stirring every 15 seconds.
  6. Once sufficiently melted, add a few drops of green food coloring until your desired shade of green is achieved.
  7. Drizzle the green-colored chocolate in lines over the white chocolate layer on the baking sheet.
  8. Use a toothpick to swirl.
  9. Decorate the chocolate with gold candy sprinkles and Lucky Charms marshmallows.
  10. Refrigerate the bark uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until it’s firm.
  11. Once firm and set, remove from the fridge.
  12. Break or cut the bark into bite-sized pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Work Quickly: Add your chosen toppings to the melted chocolate before it begins to set, or else they might not stick properly.
  • Get Even: Spread the chocolate on the baking sheet evenly to create uniformly thick pieces that are easy to break apart, even with just your hands.
  • Make Cleanups Easy: Add parchment paper or a silicone mat to the baking sheet to make removal easier.
  • Press For Firmness: If using or adding larger toppings, press them into the chocolate so they won’t fall off.
