Candy Heart Bark

Ingredients:

6 oz. white chocolate, coarsely chopped

2 oz. pink candy melts

1/4 tsp. canola or vegetable oil

8 oz. semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Conversation heart candies and sprinkles, for decorating

Directions:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.

2. With a double boiler or microwave, melt white chocolate and candy melts together. If using a microwave, stir chocolate every 20 seconds. Once melted and smooth, stir in oil, then set aside.

3. Melt semisweet chocolate the same way you melted white chocolate. Pour onto prepared baking sheet and spread out into a large rectangle using a spoon or rubber spatula. Drizzle white chocolate mixture on top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl layers together. Sprinkle top of bark with conversation hearts and sprinkles.

4. Refrigerate to set, 2 hours. Once hardened, break into pieces as large or as small as you want and serve.
