Easy, No-Bake Chocolate Bark with 3 Variations

January 2, 2016 by Sheri Silver Leave a Comment

Easy, No-Bake Chocolate Bark is the perfect foodie gift for any level of baker to create. Here are 3 easy variations to get you started. No baking required!

I think we can all agree that, no matter the reason to celebrate, a homemade gift trumps a store bought one any day. And what better homemade gift is there than one from the kitchen?

That said, not everyone is comfortable baking and cooking – never mind actually GIVING what they make as a present for a loved one. That is why I am a huge, huge fan of homemade chocolate bark!

Even though I love to bake, I often give these chocolate bars as a gift – as there is much to love about this treat:

  • It’s quick and easy – as little as 2 ingredients, no-bake, and ready in under an hour!
  • It’s simple – if you can stir, pour, and sprinkle, you are winning!
  • It’s accommodating – by tweaking the chocolate and the mix-ins, you can create bark that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan! This is the perfect solution when gifting to those with food allergies and dietary sensitivities.
  • It’s customizable – the sky’s the limit, folks! Use whatever chocolate (or candy melts) you have on-hand, and any mix-ins you can think of. This is a great way to treat someone to their favorite flavors, and create a gift that is truly personal.
