- Sweet and salty. It is the best combination.
- Inexpensive to make. The recipe uses budget friendly ingredients. It’s perfect for kids or to give as gifts.
Ingredients
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate, but it will be sweeter. Just make sure to use a good quality chocolate like Ghirardelli. Chocolate chips are cheaper than using chocolate bars.
- Pastel pink candy melts. I like to use Wilton candy melts. You can also use vanilla candy coating or red candy melts.
- Conversation Hearts. These are so cute with the different sayings.
- Valentine’s Day Sprinkles. This is for topping and makes it festive.

Variations
- White chocolate chips. Try using white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer the taste.
- Oreos. Crumble Oreo Cookies on top of the bark to make Oreo Bark.
- Candy. Try red hots or anything you love on top of the Valentine bark. Valentine M&M candy would be pretty.
- Nuts. Sprinkle chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds or peanuts on the chocolate.
- Pretzels. Break pretzels into pieces and sprinkle on top.
How to Make Valentine’s Day Bark
- Step 1. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Step 2. Melt the chocolate chips by placing them in a microwave safe dish. Heat in the microwave using 20 to 30-second intervals, Don’t forget to stir between each interval until chips are completely melted. Then melt the pink candy melts.
Step 3. Next, spread the chocolate onto the baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate out as evenly as possible.
Step 4. Then drizzle the melted pink candy melts on top of the chocolate layer.
Step 5. Use a fork or tip of butter knife to swirl the pink candy melts into the chocolate on the baking sheet.
Step 6. Top with the conversation hearts and the sprinkles. Allow to set in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to harden.
Step 7. Finally, remove the bark from the refrigerator and break into pieces to serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Swirling the chocolate. You don’t want to swirl them too much or they will completely mix together, and you will lose the swirled look.
- Topping. The Valentine’s sprinkles and red or pink melting chocolates are optional but so pretty and festive!
- Microwave Safe Bowls. Make sure that you are using a microwave-safe bowl.
- Lined Baking Sheet. Prepare the pan with foil or parchment paper to make it easier to lift out.
- Good quality chocolate. With so few ingredients and the dessert mostly chocolate, use good chocolate! You will taste the difference.
