Ingredients
To create the delectable Red, White & Blue Bark, gather the following ingredients:
– 12 ounces white chocolate or white chocolate chips
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
– Red and blue sprinkles (optional, for extra decoration)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Red, White & Blue Bark:
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate. If you like, stir in the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Add Fruit: While the chocolate is still melty, top it with sliced strawberries and blueberries, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
5. Sprinkle Top: If desired, sprinkle with red and blue sprinkles for a festive touch.
6. Chill the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let it chill for 30-60 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set and is firm.
7. Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the refrigerator. Lift the bark off the baking sheet using the parchment paper, and break it into pieces of your desired size.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your fresh Red, White & Blue Bark or store it in an airtight container for later.
