Frequently Asked Questions
It makes a 8 X 14 size. You can also make the bark thicker and do 9 x 9 or size of your choosing.
No. Although you can substitute almond bark for white chocolate, they are different types of confections. Almond bark does not contain cocoa butter like white chocolate. In my opinion white chocolate has a better flavor, but the almond bard is still delicious and so easy it’s foolproof.
Using the microwave to melt chocolate is one way. In a heatproof bowl, microwave chopped chocolate bars, melts or chips in 15 to 30 second intervals, stopping to stir before restarting. When you have just a few bits of unmelted chocolate you can stop and let the heat finish melting.
Alternatively, you can place chocolate over a double boiler to melt. Simply add water to a saucepan with a heatproof bowl set on top, so that when water is gently boiling it does not touch the inset bowl.
You can, however you will need a powder, oil based food coloring, or one specifically for chocolate to color it. Water based food coloring will cause the chocolate to seize and it will become unusable.
There are a couple of reasons chocolate may not temper properly, but most likely your room isn’t cool enough. Just stick it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and it should set up nicely.
Variations for Oreo Easter Bark
- You can use half chocolate and half white chocolate and swirl.
- You can grab colored candy melts and swirl in or replace the white chocolate.
- If you don’t want the oreo flavor just leave it out. You could substitute other crushed cookies, graham crackers or just a little more of the candies.
- Add in some crushed or whole pretzels, even the thin sticks work too for more crunch.
- Nuts like chopped pecan, walnuts, or even pistachios are delicious.
- You can even sprinkle your favorite cereal on top for cereal bark!
- Change up colors for birthday or other holiday occasions.
Tips
- Good Quality Chocolate: Use good quality chocolate to improve the taste. A good quality bar will melt more easily than the white chocolate chips.
- Simple Option: If you want an even simpler chocolate option, you can use white or vanilla bark or melts. While, the flavor is a little different it is still delicious. This will set at room temperature with no issues.
- Easy Clean Up: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat and clean up is a cinch.
- Use an offset spatula to spread out the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet. It helps spreads nice and evenly.
- Make ahead and freezing instructions: Store bark in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
