Honesty, you need this easy dessert in your life right now! With the 4th of July coming up right around the corner, why not treat yourself and your friends and family with this super fast, easy dessert!
What’s in White Chocolate Bark?
The base layer is made with chocolate graham crackers. I just love doing it this way. It gives the bark a light crunch and keeps it from getting over the top sweet!
This version is also made with white chocolate, also known as almond bark, vanilla bark, or vanilla melting candy, vanilla candy coating, and brand names like Candiquik. This stuff has a lot of different names but they are all the same thing. I like to use the kind that comes in a microwavable pan for easy clean up.
Since this is a patriotic bark, there’s also lots of red, white, and blue M&M’s. Use the ones you like best. I used caramel and milk chocolate for this one.
I don’t use the Swedish Fish on the bark (too chewy for my liking) but you can certainly add them on, or chop them up and add them on. But what I really like to do is serve them in a bowl or decorate the table with them. I think it adds a fun summer vibe!
This is a flexible dessert idea that you can change up with the seasons. Just use the basic graham cracker and white chocolate method then change up the candy toppings. Check out what I did for Easter here.
