Important Recipe Notes
- Melt the almond bark and candy melts separately to keep the colors bright and make swirling easier.
- Heat the candy melts in short 30-second intervals, stirring well between each round to prevent overheating and burning.
- Work quickly once the candy is melted, as candy melts can begin to set fast.
- Avoid overmixing the colors when swirling or the blue shades may blend together instead of creating a marbled effect.
- Add the shark gummies and sprinkles immediately after swirling so they stick to the candy before it hardens.
- For cleaner pieces, allow the bark to fully set before breaking it into chunks.
- If your kitchen is warm, place the bark in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
