Make your own Valentines bark for your loved one. Grab your favourite chocolate bars and top them with seasonal sprinkles and vegan marshmallows, Quick and incredibly easy to make with my fail-safe chocolate melting method.
Set your oven to the lowest temperature (mine is 175°F) and line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place 4 chocolate bars on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Keep an eye on the chocolate while it starts to melt. Carefully jiggle the pan to check. Mine took approx 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and swirl the chocolate to ensure it is fully melted. Add sprinkles, white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and candy hearts.
Allow to set in the fridge then break up into pieces. This tray took 1 hour to set.

Notes
The time it takes for the chocolate to melt will depend on the lowest temperature that your oven will let you select. Mine is 175F and the chocolate took approx 12 minutes to melt.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If you are gifting the bark, place it in cellophane bags. There is no need to refrigerate the bark once it has set unless you live in a very warm climate which may compromise the chocolate. If in doubt, store it in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before eating as the sprinkles will be very hard.
To make gluten free bark, double check the ingredients of the chocolate and toppings that you are using. The Cadbury Plant Bar is gluten free. Many sprinkles and marshmallows contain gluten so skip them if you can't find a gluten free option. Dandies brand of vegan marshmallows are gluten free but do contain soy, if that is a concern for you.
Topping suggestions: Honestly, the possibilities are endless with homemade chocolate bark. If you are adding sprinkles, pick colours that match the season or holiday. You could also add gold leaf, crushed pieces of oreos, freeze dried fruit, pretzel pieces, nuts and much, much more.
