Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340 grams) high-quality melting chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 cup (200 grams) edible rock candy crystals (clear or colored)
- Oil-based or powdered food coloring (optional, for coloring white chocolate layers)
- Edible gold or silver dust (optional, for shimmer)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) coconut oil or clear vegetable oil
- Pinch of sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 9×13 inches / 23×33 cm) with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Chop 8 ounces (227 grams) of chocolate into small pieces and melt gently using a double boiler or microwave. Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil to thin.
- Pour melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness. Chill in fridge for 10-15 minutes until firm but not fully set.
- Melt 4 ounces (113 grams) of white chocolate and mix in chosen oil-based food coloring. Thin with a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed.
- Drop dollops of colored chocolate onto the chilled base layer in clusters and swirl gently with a toothpick to mimic crystal formations. Chill for 5-10 minutes.
- Press edible rock candy crystals into the colored chocolate clusters, varying sizes for a natural look. Sprinkle sea salt flakes around crystals.
- Optionally, brush edible gold or silver dust on edges of crystals and chocolate for shimmer.
- Chill the entire sheet in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until fully set and firm.
- Remove from fridge and break the bark into irregular shards using a sharp knife or hands.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to two weeks.
Notes
Use oil-based or powdered food coloring to avoid chocolate seizing. Chill between layers to keep colors distinct. Press crystals lightly to maintain sparkle. Store in airtight container away from sunlight. Freeze for longer storage up to 2 months.
