I am so excited to be a part of the Red White and Blue Series over at Sugar Bee Crafts today!! Sugar Bee Crafts has long been a favorite blog of mine and she has an incredible Patriotic Series going on right now...you really should hop on over and check it out!!
Today, I am showing off a really fun and tasty treat: Patriotic Chocolate Bark! Using Red, White and Blue chocolate candy melts, you can create a festive treat for the 4th of July, Memorial Day or Patriot's Day (for my Boston friends 🙂 with just a few minutes of prep time!
You only need three ingredient: red, white and blue chocolate candy melts. And sprinkles are optional (but super cute of course!)
Chocolate, even candy melts, can be a little bit tricky to melt, so before you make this, I suggest you read my post on How To Melt Chocolate for Dipping.
I would omit the veggie oil if possible as it will make the chocolate a bit more soft, but still follow all of the other melting directions so that your chocolate turns out silky smooth and not over-cooked! (go here to check out the post)
Here's how to make this:
- Read my post on How to Melt Chocolate for Dipping
- Place a piece of wax paper or foil on a cookie sheet
- Melt Blue candy melts, pour and spread a thin coat onto the cookie sheet
- Place in fridge until set (or you can leave it out of the fridge but it will take quite a bit longer)
- Melt Red candy melts, pour and spread a thin coat on top of the already set blue chocolate candy layer
- Place in fridge until set
- Melt White candy melts, pour and spread a thin coat on top of the already set red chocolate candy layer
- Top immediately with sprinkles if desired
- Place in fridge until set
- Remove from fridge and using a knife or your hands, break apart into chocolate bark pieces
I hope you'll come join me over at Sugar Bee Crafts to check out the other amazing Red White and Blue ideas!

What a great idea! I never would have thought to use the candy melts for bark...I normally just use almond bark.
