1/2 cup white candy melts
1/2 cup blue candy melts
1 tbsp red, white, and blue star sprinkles
1/4 cup red, white, and blue M&Ms

Step by Step Directions

1. Prepare Your Tray

Line a 13×9 baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Melt and Pour the Semi-Sweet Layer

Melt semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Spread evenly in the tray and refrigerate until firm.

Melted dark chocolate spread in an even layer with a spatula inside a parchment-lined baking pan. Step in the process of making patriotic chocolate bark for a fun and easy 4th of July dessert.

3. Add the White Chocolate Layer

Melt the white chocolate using the same method.

Pour and spread over the hardened dark chocolate layer.

Let set completely before the next step.

White chocolate layer spread over a dark chocolate base in a parchment-lined pan, with bowls of melted blue, white, and red candy melts below. Step in preparing red, white, and blue chocolate bark for a patriotic 4th of July treat.

4. Drizzle the Candy Melts

Melt red, white, and blue candy melts in separate bowls.

Drizzle over the white chocolate using piping bags or a spoon.

Swirl with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.

6. Break and Serve

Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Tips for Success

Let each layer cool fully before adding the next to avoid mixing.

Don’t skip the parchment—it makes removal so much easier.

Add your toppings quickly after drizzling before the melts harden.

For a crisp break, chill your chocolate bark for 30 minutes before slicing.
