Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Bark Base
  • 12 oz high-quality white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • 6 oz green candy melts or white chocolate + oil-based green food coloring
  • 0.5 tsp lime extract optional, stir into the green melts for extra flavor
Toppings
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime zest from about 1-2 medium limes
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt like Maldon

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowls
  • Microplane or fine grater

Method
 

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Pour onto the prepared pan and spread into an even rectangle.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt the green candy melts (or colored white chocolate mixed with lime extract) until smooth.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the green chocolate randomly over the white chocolate base.
  5. Use a butter knife or toothpick to drag through the chocolate drops, creating swirling figure-eight patterns. Do not overmix.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the fresh lime zest and flaky sea salt evenly over the wet chocolate.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until the bark is completely firm.
  8. Remove from the fridge and use your hands to break the bark into irregular shards. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

If coloring your own white chocolate for the green swirl, you MUST use oil-based food coloring. Water-based coloring will cause the chocolate to seize and turn into a hard lump.
