🔎Top tips
- do not overheat the chocolate in the microwave. It will set up and you can’t save it.
- do NOT add gel food coloring. It will also cause the chocolate to seize up.
- make sure to keep the bark out of the sunlight and away from a warm area, like a stove. It’s best kept in a cool part of your pantry or even in the fridge.
FAQ
Candy bark looks a lot like a rough tree bark if you think about it. It’s also a semi-hard or hard candy, which you can add candy, nuts, or sprinkles too.
It’s a confectionary candy coating that doesn’t need tempering and is very easy to melt. Normally these contain sugar, vegetable oil, and milk.
If you think the candy is a little too thick, just add a few drops of vegetable oil. Continue adding the oil until you get it to the consistency you are looking for.
Unicorn Bark
Equipment
- 4 small microwave safe bowls
- Scissors
- plastic bags
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate discs
- ¼ cup pink chocolate discs
- ¼ cup purple chocolate discs
- ¼ cup teal chocolate discs
- Wilton’s Unicorn Mix Sprinkles
- multi-color shimmer nonpareils
Directions
- Prepare your cookie sheet by laying a piece of parchment paper on it.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Place it in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30 second increments at 50% power until it’s smooth and creamy. You will have to stir the chocolate as there may still be soft melts in the chocolate.
- Spread the white chocolate on top of the parchment paper. Make sure that it’s smooth and level.
- Next, shake on your shimmer nonpareils.
- Lay out 3 small bowls and add the colored melts into each one. You’ll be the pink in one, the teal in one, and the purple in the other.
- When it’s melted (following instructions for how to melt the white), place each color in a separate plastic bag and then snip off the corners of each bag.
- Drizzle the colors all over the white chocolate bark. Then add on the unicorn sprinkles.
- Let the chocolate completely dry. Then break apart. Enjoy!
