Valentine’s Candy Bark

Sharing is caring!

The easiest Valentine’s treat you can make!  This Valentine’s Candy Bark makes a perfect treat to make and give!

Hey guys!!!!  So this was my first week back in the blogging saddle after having a fabulous holiday break.  Let’s just say it was not a successful first day back.  I had planned to share with you some Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Meringues for our Valentine’s series.  Well my chocolate seized and was unusable.  That was okay, I would just drizzle them with red chocolate.  They looked like I murdered a bunch of hearts.  It was gruesome, not pretty, not cute and not romantic.  Sooooo I am sharing with you one of my favorite Valentine’s Day recipes from last year.  It is still a favorite around here!

So this weekend Dean had a little cabin fever and I needed something to keep him busy and this Valentine’s Candy Bark was just the thing.

He had so much fun making it and was so proud of himself.  He especially loved eating it!

This is a great project to do with kids because you can set out their favorite candies and sprinkles and just let them go to town!  You can even use smaller pans for the chocolate so each kid gets their own to decorate.

We used Valentine’s candy corn (found them at Wal-mart in the seasonal aisle), m&ms and sprinkles (Target dollar spot).

So get your kids in the kitchen and let them create their own little masterpieces.  When they are done, break up the bark into pieces and it makes great little homemade gifts for Valentine’s Day!!

Dean was so happy to help mama “cook”.

  3. Love the contrast in colors! We do festive colors for all the holidays. One year I was able to find some shamrock shaped sprinkles and we did an almond bark for March. Stopping by from the SITS girls link party!

  4. I totally support your little dude’s getting carried away with his bark toppings–bring on the sprinkles! I love bark in any form and I love all the Valentine’s candy. I had no idea candy corn existed in February!

  5. Wow, I don’t think I ever knew this is such an easy recipe! My boys would love making it. I LOVE your photos too, I need to know your secret to such pretty pics. I’ve pinned to my Valentines board & I’m putting it on my to-make list this week :)
