Plus, it’s a great way to get the kids involved, or just enjoy a little time in the kitchen with a treat that’s as easy as it is delicious. Let’s dive into this colorful chocolate creation!

How to Make Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
  • 2 cups white chocolate morsels
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup red candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts
  • 1/2 cup blue candy melts
  • 1 tbsp red, white, and blue star sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup red, white, and blue M&Ms

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by lining a 13×9-inch baking tray with parchment paper. This ensures your chocolate doesn’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.

2. Now, grab your semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Melt them in the microwave, using 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and creamy.

3. Once melted, pour it onto your prepared tray and spread it out into an even layer. Let this layer set completely (pop it in the fridge to speed up the process).

4. Next up, melt the white chocolate morsels in the same way. Once melted, carefully pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Give it time to set completely—patience is key here!

5. Melt your red, white, and blue candy melts separately. I love using small piping bags for this part, but a spoon works just as well!

6. Drizzle each color over the white chocolate layer in a random, fun pattern. Here’s where you get to be creative!

7. Grab a toothpick or skewer and gently swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect. Don’t rush this step! The marbling adds a beautiful touch, and it’s really satisfying to watch the colors blend.

8. While the candy melts are still soft, sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles and M&Ms over the top.

9. Now, let everything harden completely. You can leave it at room temperature or pop it in the fridge if you’re in a rush (but don’t rush the hardening process—it’s worth the wait!).

10. Once your chocolate bark has completely set, carefully lift it out of the tray using the edges of the parchment paper. Break it into chunks by hand—there’s something so satisfying about this part!

Serve and enjoy your beautiful, colorful bark at your next gathering. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature, or if you prefer it extra firm, stick it in the fridge.

This Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark is the perfect balance of sweet and festive, with just the right amount of color and crunch. It’s super customizable, too!

Want to add some nuts or dried fruit? Go for it. Want to make it a little extra and drizzle on some extra white chocolate? Why not? This recipe is all about having fun and making a treat that’s as colorful and exciting as your celebration.

So, next time you need a dessert that’s easy to make but totally show-stopping, give this Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark a try. It’s a treat that’s as sweet as it is patriotic, and I promise you won’t have leftovers for long! Happy celebrating!
