Instructions
Creating Valentine’s Chocolate Bark With Mix-Ins is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to your desired thickness.
4. Add Mix-Ins: Sprinkle the mixed nuts, dried fruit, mini marshmallows, and candy sprinkles over the melted chocolate while it’s still warm. Press them down gently to adhere.
5. Sprinkle Sea Salt: If desired, lightly sprinkle sea salt over the toppings for a sweet and salty contrast.
6. Cool: Allow the chocolate to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until set.
7. Break into Pieces: Once set, break the chocolate bark into pieces of your desired size.
8. Store: Store the pieces in an airtight container at room temperature.
