WHITE CHOCOLATE UNICORN BARK

-

24 servings pieces White chocolate provides a simple canvas for making this fun and colorful treat. Feel free to use whatever candy, sprinkles and colors you have on hand.

The bark needs to set for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. It keeps, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerat­or, for up to 1 week. Adapted from a recipe at BBCGoodFoo­d.com.

Ingredient­s

Food coloring gel in 4 or 5 colors (such as yellow, blue, green, purple and/or red) 1 to 2 teaspoons sprinkles of varying colors and sizes 1 tablespoon mini marshmallo­ws, coarsely chopped 1 to 2 tablespoon­s gummy candy or jelly beans (optional) 12 ounces good-quality white chocolate, such as Callebaut, coarsely chopped

Steps

Set out all the mix-in ingredient­s (coloring, sprinkles, mini marshmallo­ws, candy) in separate bowls. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Heat the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH in 30-second bursts until melted, stirring each time.

Divide the melted white chocolate among 4 or 5 small bowls; add different food coloring a few drops at a time to each bowl, stirring well to combine. The gel colors can be quite strong, so start light and add more as needed.

Drop spoonfuls of the different-colored chocolates onto the prepared baking sheet in puddles, making sure they are close enough to one another that one big puddle starts to form.

Use a skewer or a toothpick to swirl the colors as you like, taking care not to muddle them too much. Gently shake the baking sheet from side to side to help the chocolate sit in an even layer and fill in any gaps.

Decorate with sprinkles, marshmallo­ws and candy, if using. Leave the chocolate to set in a cool place for about an hour or up to overnight, until hard. Cut it into angled pieces for serving or storing.

Ingredient­s are too variable for a meaningful analysis.
