Ingredients
  

  • 150-200 g (5-7 oz) White Chocolate roughly chopped chocolate or good quality chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp Sprinkles
  • 2 packages (7g each) Popping candy I used pink/strawberry flavour
  • 1 tbsp Freeze dried strawberries crushed

Instructions
 

  • Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 3/4 of your white chocolate. Melt in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring well after each heating. Heat until chocolate is almost completely melted (with a few chocolate pieces remaining).
  • Add remaining 1/4 cup of white chocolate to the already melted chocolate and stir until all chocolate has fully melted. If the white chocolate is still thick - return to the microwave for an additional 5-10 seconds, and stir as needed to melt. Chocolate should be shiny and liquid.
  • Add popping candy to the melted chocolate and stir to combine.
  • Pour melted chocolate onto parchment lined baking sheet and spread flat with spoon or spatula (note: thickness of chocolate layer is up to you however for ease of handling, I recommend ~1/4 inch thick)
  • Top with sprinkles and small pieces of freeze dried strawberries.
  • Place in the freezer or fridge to set quickly (~15 min in the freezer) or in a cool, dark, place to slowly set over 2-4 hours. You will know that the Popping Candy Chocolate Bark is ready when it is hard to the touch, not tacky, and at room temperature makes a crack sound when broken.
  • Use your clean hands to break chocolate bark into pieces.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • This recipe is super customizable!! Use your favourite chocolate and add-ins.
  • Chop or use high-quality white chocolate (not just candy coating) for a creamier, less waxy finish. If your chocolate seizes a bit, a tiny splash of neutral oil can smooth it.
  • For even pieces, score the chocolate lightly with an offset spatula after it’s partly set and then chill — break along the lines.
  • Mindful baking: With the bowl between your hands, take a full inhale/exhale, feel the warmth of the chocolate, and notice the consistency going from solid to liquid. Let the rhythm of stirring be your mini meditation — steady and kind.
