What is White Chocolate Bark?
White Chocolate Bark is much like our milk or dark chocolate bark, only using white chocolate.
We melt chocolate and pour it into a baking tray and then we add toppings which we have prepared in advance.
Have a look below at some recipes to get your creativity flowing!

How to make white chocolate bark
To make white chocolate bark, it is a good idea to prepare your ingredients in advance. The simple steps to follow are:
- prepare your toppings
- melt chocolate
- top chocolate with toppings
The chocolate will set again very quickly after you melt it. This means you won't have time to toast your ingredients when the chocolate is melted. That is ok though, as you can do that before you melt the chocolate.
I like to use small bowls to hold all of my ingredients and have them prepped and ready on the bench. So that when the chocolate is poured into the baking tray, you simply add the toppings and set.
The whole tray can go into the fridge once you have topped the chocolate. You will notice (if you are like me and you just can't help yourself!) that the chocolate will become firm very quickly.
This is great as it means this is a quick and easy snack that can be prepared without a lot of effort.
When making chocolate bark
To make chocolate bark give yourself a clean workspace and layer your tray with greaseproof paper to start with.
The way to think about this process is doing all of the hard work 1st.
Ingredients for white chocolate bark
- white chocolate melts
- goji berries
- pistachios
- coconut
Start by toasted the coconut and pistachio. But do these separately as the coconut will toast a lot faster than the nuts. I am always suprised how quickly things can burn when toasting them!
Have a look at the pictures so that you can follow the recipe and make a batch of your own white chocolate bark. You will learn how easy it easy and want to make it again and again!
Toppings for white chocolate bark
If you remember from not too long ago, I shared my Dark Chocolate Bark recipe and this one is super similar to that, albeit using a different type of chocolate. So you, my friend, can choose to do which ever one that floats your boat.
As you can see from the pics, the topping is made from 3 simple ingredients.
- shaved coconut
- pistachio nuts'
- goji berries.
If you are wondering why we toast the coconut and pistachios, it is to add flavour and texture to them. You can use these ingredients without toasting them. But trust me, there is a little delight to be had when eating toasted nuts and coconut! For such a simple process ie the toasting, you get maximum results.
White chocolate bark ideas
The idea with the chocolate bark toppings is to use ingredients that will contrast well with the whiteness of the chocolate.
When you toast the coconut, it will turn a light brown. This is perfect as it means it will stand out from the chocolate. The pistachos and goji berries add pops of colour too!
I separated them for the picture that I took to show you each of the ingredients, but to save time, you can toast the nuts and coconut at the same time.
Enjoy making chocolate bark
Honestly guys, take pleasure in this process!
I do take little videos along the way when I spend time in my kitchen, so if you want to check them out, have a look at my instagram stories as you can see some of the steps involved in making this recipe. (You can check that here).
The image above shows you the step where the melted chocolate has been poured into the baking tray. It helps to have a spatula on hand, so you can smooth it out and push it to the edges.
When making the chocolate bark
Melting the chocolate is really the hardest part of this recipe. Once that is done the fun begins and you get to decorate your melted slab of chocolate with your lovely crunchy and colourful toppings.
The toppings will make a lovely noise as you sprinkle them onto the melted chocolate. This is the most fun part of making chocolate bark.
You can choose to have a thick topping and to achieve this you put the pistachios, goji berries and nuts together. Or you can spread it out and have more of the white chocolate peeking through.
'The photo above is to show you how to pack all of your ingredients onto your bark. As they are loosely tossed together, the different colours will sort themselves out.
The toppings will stick to the melted chocolate straight away, then it will only be a matter of time before it sets in the fridge.
How to cut chocolate bark
To cut chocolate bark, you can either start with a knife and cut approximate lines through it or literally break it into pieces.
If you are using a knife you might have more control of the portion sizes but the idea is still to create pieces of the bark.
You can cut chocolate bark or break it into pieces, whichever you prefer to do.
How to store chocolate bark
Once your bark is made, you can store it in an air tight container in the fridge.
It will keep in there for at least 2 weeks. It is a snack that can be made in advance and called up for the 3pm blues or when friends drop in!
How to serve White Chocolate Bark
After the chocolate is set, you can break it up in what ever fashion you like. Some people like cutting theirs into rectangular pieces with a sharp knife and others prefer breaking it up into random pieces (this is my preference). I will let you decide on that finer detail.
The best thing is you can also package it for gifts (am thinking Christmas!). Just grab a few clear candy bags and some seasonal ribbon, portion it out and go!
White Chocolate Bark Recipes
If you are anything like me you will start to be thinking about all of the different white chocolate bark recipes you can come up with.
That is why this recipe is so fun. It is versatile and can be done to fit any occasion!
It fits the bill of both an easy candy recipe as well as things to do with chocolate chips.
