Ingredients
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup red and pink sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely covered and smooth.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir continuously using a silicone spatula until completely melted and smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and carefully pour it onto the prepared parchment paper, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula to create a thin, uniform layer about 1/4 inch thick.
- Immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows across the surface of the melted chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently press crushed graham crackers over the marshmallows to help them adhere to the chocolate base.
- Liberally scatter red and pink sprinkles over the entire surface to create a festive Valentine's Day appearance.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate bark to set completely, approximately 1 hour.
- Once hardened, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using a sharp knife.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
