Valentine’s Day Recipes for Celebrating All Day Long

Bark in Love. It’s hard to find a tastier treat that’s as pretty and easy to make. And pink! Let the kids be creative with toppings. More is more!

Ingredients
16 oz premium white chocolate, finely chopped
Toppings such as dried fruit, nuts, pretzels, candies or other ingredients from your pantry
Colored melting chocolates for marbling (optional)

1. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a small pot with 1 inch of water. Be careful: The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat on medium-high, stirring the chocolate constantly until the water is boiling. Reduce heat to low. Once mostly melted, remove from heat and continue stirring until smooth.
2. Pour the chocolate into a 9-by-12 inch sheet pan and spread evenly with a spatula. If you would like to marble the top, add dots of colored melting chocolate and swirl with a wooden skewer.
3. Working quickly, add toppings, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
4. Cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
5. Once cool, lift carefully from pan.
6. Break, box and gift!
