Hanukkah Chocolate Bark

Hanukkah Chocolate Bark makes the perfect gift for someone special or as something to snack on over the holiday. Who doesn’t want homemade treats?

How to Make Chocolate Bark?

It is a good idea to prepare your ingredients in advance.

First, melt your chocolate: The easiest way to melt white chocolate is in the microwave, but it can also be melted in a double boiler on the stove. 

Once you melt the chocolate, you just have to spread it into a thin layer on parchment paper and add the toppings.

You could use any pan or baking sheet size you want. Just make sure that there is room to spread your chocolate in a nice even layer. 

Let the chocolate cool and harden, then simply break the bark into pieces with your hands.

Ingredients Overview

The recipe makes about 20 barks~ 5 small gift bags. You can easily double or triple the recipe. 

White chocolate: I definitely recommend using a high-quality chocolate bar. Another option is candy melts or wafers. Don’t use chocolate chips if you can help it; they have some additives and tend to be a bit more challenging to work with. 

Chocolate coins (gelt): Milk or dark chocolate. You can find chocolate coins on Amazon, World Market, some grocery stores in the Kosher aisle, Target, and Trader Joe’s (World Coins). 

Hanukkah sprinkles: I found these super cute Hanukkah sprinkles on Amazon, but any blue-silver-gold sprinkles will be great for this Hanukkah bark. Also, try to use sprinkles that won’t lose all their color, like Jimmies, Quins, and sugar pearls. 

How to Store Chocolate Bark?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, ideally less than 70ºF/21ºC. The bark will last for several weeks and doesn’t need to be refrigerated.

If you have to store it in the refrigerator, make sure it’s in an airtight container to prevent moisture and smells from spoiling the chocolate. 

Gift It: This makes a great homemade Hanukkah gift! Gift it in a cute bag with a ribbon on top.
