If you thought yesterday’s recipe was insane, you haven’t seen anythin’ yet! πŸ˜€

Today friends, we are talking bark. More importantly bark with a layer of milk chocolate, then a layer of white, then absolutely covered in crushed candy canes, holiday sprinkles, mint chocolate biscuits and smashed Lindor truffles.

Those truffles that absolutely melt in your mouth? Yea. Those.

I mean, smashing them up was a messy job, but someone had to do it… πŸ˜‰

Also, can we talk about how hard it is to find red and white candy canes in the UK this year?

If you know someone who is hoarding them all can you let me know? Thanks.

I went EVERYWHERE! I either found red, white and green ones or none at all, with no gaps for them.

And then there were fruity ones. Fruity candy canes?! WHAT THE HECK?

I didn’t want red, white and green ones. I certainly didn’t want fruity ones, I also didn’t want to spend Β£15 on a pack of 12 (online prices…) so I had to go to my least favourite shop ever. I’m not even going to say which one as it’s embarrassing.

Anyway, I finally found some peppermint candy canes, which were red and white! Then I spent about 10 hours unwrapping them before spending 10 seconds smashing them up πŸ˜€

The things I do for my blog.

OK, so what about these layers?

I melted down 10oz of good quality milk chocolate, spread it over a lined baking tray and then had to wait for it to set.

This step is actually really important. Yes, I kept picking at the sides, but if the chocolate is wet when you add the layer of white chocolate, you’ll end up with a huge, albeit, tasty mess.

Once the milk chocolate layer is set, I melted down some white chocolate then spread it over the milk.

The only thing left to do after that is go mad sprinkling all your toppings everywhere.

For this recipe, I chose a combination of candy, chocolate and biscuits – the biscuits I used were new in the supermarket, but they were called Mint Chocolate Crunch Creams by Fox’s – I figure they are the closest thing to Mint Oreo’s we get in the UK, so if you’re in the US, feel free to use Oreo’s!

There is something you should understand about my bark recipes. They are over the top, jam packed with toppings.

Life is too short to be stingy with your bark toppings.

Although you don’t see much of the chocolate base, it’s there friends and it’s covered in all kinds of wonderful things πŸ™‚

It adds a smooth texture to the mad crunch of the toppings. And then… every so often you get a melty bit of truffle and it just pushes you over the edge. Insane. Awesome. Delicious.

The only bark recipe you need this Christmas.

I just love how simple bark is, yet it looks amazing and would make the most perfect gift this Christmas!

Who wouldn’t love to find a jar full of this bark, with homemade labels and a little ribbon around the top under their tree?

I might make myself some and put it under the tree…

Nobody has to know it’s from me to me?

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 4 hrs
Total Time 4 hrs
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz (285g) milk chocolate, melted
  • 10 oz (285g) white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup (90g) crushed Candy canes, measured after crushing
  • 1 tbsp holiday sprinkles/sugar pearls
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Lindor truffles, crushed
  • 3/4 cup (70g) Mint Chocolate biscuits, crushed (Fox's, Oreo's - whichever is your favourite)

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking tray, then pour your melted milk chocolate onto it. Spread into a thin, even layer. You want it just under 1/4 inch thick. Leave to set completely, you may need to place it in the fridge for it to harden properly.
  • Once set, pour your melted white chocolate over the milk chocolate and spread until you have entirely covered the milk chocolate.
  • Ensure you have measured your toppings after crushing, then sprinkle candy canes all over the melted white chocolate. Follow this with the holiday sugar pearls/sprinkles.
  • Finish off by crumbling the smashed Lindor truffles and crushed biscuit pieces. Press toppings into the chocolate ever so slightly, so they don't fall off.
  • Leave to set completely (again you may want to put it in the fridge for 30 minutes) before breaking into 12-14 pieces.
  • Bark will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 5 days.

Notes

*A note about crushing Lindor truffles - it's messy. You might want to wear gloves. I put my unwrapped truffles into a medium sized bowl and then smashed them up with the end of a rolling pin, since the filling is kind of wet, it will clump together, but you just have to rub it between your fingers to crumble it over the bark!
