🤔 FAQs

These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making a Marble Bark Recipe.

What is chocolate bark made of?

Chocolate bark is a sheet of melted chocolate topped with various add-ins such as nuts, dried fruits, candies, and sometimes additional pieces of chocolate. It’s left to harden at room temperature and then broken apart into pieces to be enjoyed.

Why is it called chocolate bark?

Once chocolate bark is made and broken into pieces, it can resemble the craggy surface of tree bark, hence the term ‘chocolate bark.’

Is bark chocolate healthy?

Chocolate itself has many known health benefits, such as reduced inflammation, lowering the risk of various diseases and ailments as well as improving blood flow, and being a source of antioxidants. Of course, with anything, moderation is key!

What can I substitute for chocolate bark?

Chocolate bark, such as almond bark, can be replaced with white chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips. The two have a similar flavor and texture and will work equally well in recipes that call for it. 

Is chocolate bark the same as baking chocolate?

No, it’s not. Chocolate bark contains add-ins such as chopped nuts, while baking chocolate is a mixture of cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

  • While you don’t have to temper the melted dark chocolate for this chocolate candy, it is an option and will produce a superior chocolate bark. To temper the chocolate, heat it until it reaches 108-115F.
  • This candy is the ideal gift for friends and family over the holidays. Add it to a decorative paper box or cello bag with decorative strings or ribbon. 
  • If you’ve used chips to make this chocolate bark, you may need to mix in some vegetable oil when melting the chips as a way to prevent any lumps or the chocolate from seizing.

📚 Variations

  • Feel free to add other ingredients to this marble sweet such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds, dried fruits, chopped candies, mini marshmallows, and crumbled crackers. 
  • Use white chocolate for the base of the chocolate bark and swirl in dark chocolate on top. 
  • Vary the toppings of this candy to suit specific holidays such as crushed candy canes for Christmas and Candy Corn for Halloween. You could also add food coloring to the white melted chocolate to match the various holidays.
  • I’ve melted the chocolate in this recipe in the microwave, but you can melt it in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water instead. 
  • Add some flaky sea salt over this marble chocolate bark to draw out the flavors in this sweet treat. 

🥫 Storage

Store your marble chocolate candy in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. While you can freeze this chocolate bark, the chocolate can discolor, and the nuts may lose some of their crunchiness.
