Leprechaun Bark Recipe

Introduction

Leprechaun Bark is a fun and festive treat perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you want a colorful, sweet snack. This easy-to-make chocolate bark combines creamy white chocolate, vibrant green candy swirls, and crunchy Lucky Charms marshmallows for a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers (or white chocolate chips)
• 1/3 cup green candy melts
• 1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows (or more to taste)
• 2 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted.
3. Step 3: Spread the melted white chocolate evenly on the prepared baking sheet, creating a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Step 4: Melt the green candy melts and drop spoonfuls onto the white chocolate. Use a spatula to gently swirl the green and white chocolate together for a marbled effect.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the Lucky Charms marshmallows and sprinkles evenly over the top of the melted chocolate.
6. Step 6: Let the bark set completely at room temperature, about an hour, until firm. Once set, cut or break into pieces and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For a quicker set, place the bark in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes after adding toppings.
• Try adding chopped nuts or pretzels for extra crunch.
• Use colored candy melts in different shades to create a more vibrant swirl effect.
• If you don’t have Lucky Charms marshmallows, mini marshmallows or other festive candies work well too.

Storage

Store Leprechaun Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep it away from heat and moisture to prevent melting or sogginess. To refresh texture, serve at room temperature after refrigerated storage.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate melting wafers?

Yes, you can use regular white chocolate chips, but melting wafers are often easier to melt smoothly without seizing. Adding a small amount of vegetable oil can help if using regular chips.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking when cutting?

Make sure the bark is fully set and use a sharp knife to cut. Warming the knife slightly under hot water and drying it before cutting can create cleaner edges.
