One of my favorite holiday treats to bake is chocolate bark. It’s a tasty treat that’s easy to make and a great gift to share with others.
Here are some variations on chocolate bark that look particularly delicious:
Featured above:
1. Dark Chocolate Bark with Ginger, Pumpkin Seeds and Apricots
toasted pumpkin seeds, dried apricots, crystallized or candied ginger, bittersweet chocolate, fleur de sel
2. White chocolate bark
walnuts, dried cherries or cranberries, and white chocolate
3. Easy Fruit & Nut Bark
chocolate chips, mixed salted nuts, dried cranberries, and candied ginger
4. Festive Chocolate Bark
pistachio nuts, semisweet chocolate, white chocolate, and dried cranberries
5. Christmas bark
semi-sweet, bittersweet and white chocolate, dried cranberries, pistachios, and dried apricots
6. Chocolate Marshmallow Bark
bittersweet chocolate, butter, and mini marshmallows
7. Three-Layer Peppermint Bark
white chocolate, red-and-white-striped hard peppermint candies, bittersweet chocolate, heavy cream, peppermint extract
8. Almond Roca
butter, sugar, almonds, and chocolate chips
Last year we couldn’t find peppermint extract in our small town grocery store to make the Bon Appétit version that Amanda Soule loves, so we used a more simplistic recipe instead and we were pleased with the results (shown above).
Super easy, with just three ingredients, this simple peppermint bark recipe makes for a kid-friendly baking experience that’s fun (hammers are involved!) and each step along the way tastes delicious. (Not that we were sampling. Ahem.)

i’m attempting my first chocolate bark this week myself! graham crackers, sugar-made-into-toffee, dark chocolate, and then i’m going to try both hazelnuts and heathbar crumbles for the topping!
I love chocolate bark and would be so happy to test them all when I come to visit!
