Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz dark chocolate (good quality bar or baking chocolate)
  • 14 oz milk chocolate
  • 14 oz white chocolate
  • 10 mini candy canes, crushed
  • 1/3 cup green and red chocolate buttons (like M&Ms)
  • 1/4 cup Christmas-colored sprinkles
  • 3 oz mini shortbread pieces, crumbled

Equipment

  • large rimmed baking sheet 11×15-inch preferred
  • Parchment paper For lining pan
  • Rubber spatula For swirling chocolate
  • Sharp knife (optional) For cutting clean bark pieces

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 110℉/45℃. Line an 11×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange dark, milk, and white chocolate pieces evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Place tray in oven and melt chocolate for about 10 minutes. Add extra minutes if chocolate is still firm.
  4. Remove tray and gently swirl the chocolates using a spatula. Create swirls but don’t overmix.
  5. Immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes, chocolate buttons, sprinkles, and shortbread over warm chocolate. Press lightly to stick.
  6. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for 30–60 minutes until fully firm.
  7. Break bark into irregular pieces or slice with a sharp, warm knife for neater cuts.
  8. Store in airtight container in fridge, or package for gifting.

Notes

Use quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Work quickly with toppings while the chocolate is warm. Chill fully before breaking into pieces. Store in the fridge for freshness. You can use the microwave instead of the oven to melt the chocolate if preferred.
