Real Moms DIY: Elegant Candy Bark

Need a fun treat for a party you will be attending this spring? We have the perfect yummy treat: Candy Bark.

This week’s Real Moms DIY feature comes from the wonderful Nancy at Wilton and this post can be found on their wonderful blog.

Let’s get started on her goodness….

I tried a more elegant combination of White Peppermint Pearls Favor Candy and Gold Pearlized Sugars in the dark cocoa and white Candy Melts®. By the way, I was in the Wilton Test Kitchen trying this.

Candy Melts

As you can see I just placed some Candy Melt® disks into a disposable paper bowl.

Pouring Candy Melts

Then melted the Candy Melts® on 50% power for 1 minute.

Microwave Candy Melts

Stirred them so all of the Candy Melts® were melted and fluid. I did need another 30 seconds on half power for the amount I used. No, I did not measure.

Stir Candy Melts

Poured the white melted Candy Melts® into the dark cocoa

Pour Melted Candy Melts

and lightly stirred.

Mix Melted Candy Melts

Then poured the mixture onto a parchment covered cookie pan.

And spread with a spatula to a thinner layer. Note…avoid stirring too much or you lose the marbling effect especially when combining dark cocoa with white. Using white and colors, there is not as much of an issue. If I were doing this for real, I would “serve” this to the family and make more with additional marbling. I would probably use 2 parts white to 1 part dark cocoa also.

Spread in Cookie Pan

Add Gold Pearlized Sprinkles. The new pearlized sprinkles are so dramatic.

On the other side I added some Peppermint Pearls.

Put in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until it all hardens. Break apart into smaller serving sized pieces.

Easy, Elegant Candy Bark

Yum!!
