Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Begin by preparing a baking sheet. Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring that it covers the entire surface. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make it easier to remove the bark later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.
- Once the dark chocolate is melted, pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. This will form the base layer of your Mickey Mouse Bark.
- Next, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same method as before. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently swirl the white chocolate into the dark chocolate, creating a marbled effect.
- While the chocolate is still soft, evenly sprinkle the colorful sprinkles over the surface. Make sure to cover the entire area for a festive look.
- Next, scatter the mini marshmallows and crushed Oreos over the top of the chocolate layers. Press them down gently with your hands to ensure they adhere to the melted chocolate.
- Allow the bark to set at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes.
- Once the bark is fully set, remove it from the baking sheet by lifting the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into 16 pieces, or break it into irregular chunks for a more rustic look.
- Serve your Layered Mickey Mouse Bark on a festive platter or store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Magic: Always melt chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Temperature Matters: Use room temperature ingredients for smoother chocolate melting.
- Swirling Technique: For beautiful marbling, use a toothpick or skewer to create gentle swirls between dark and white chocolate.
- Decoration Pro Tip: Add sprinkles and toppings while chocolate is still soft for best adherence.
- Quick Setting: Use the refrigerator to speed up the setting process, but don't leave chocolate in too long to prevent condensation.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Customize Your Bark: Feel free to experiment with different sprinkles, chocolates, or add-ins to make it uniquely yours!
