Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pretzel sticks (broken into small pieces)
- 1 cup crushed cookies (like Oreos or graham crackers)
- 1 cup gummy candies (like gummy bears or candy worms, chopped)
- 0.5 cup mini candy-coated chocolates (like M&M's)
- 0.25 cup colorful sprinkles
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Do not overheat.
In another bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using the same method.
Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.
Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the white chocolate layer in random patterns or swirls. Use a skewer or the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect by gently dragging it through both chocolates.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, broken pretzel sticks, crushed cookies, chopped gummy candies, and mini candy-coated chocolates evenly over the melted chocolate base while it’s still wet.
Finish by sprinkling a generous amount of colorful sprinkles over the top. Gently press down on the toppings to ensure they adhere to the chocolate.
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
Once hardened, break the candy bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
