Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Toppings
- 1 7 oz package mint M&Ms
- 8 red velvet sandwich cookies
Instructions
- Prepare Cookies: Place red velvet sandwich cookies in a ziplock bag and break them into small pieces using a heavy pot or rolling pin.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Butter: Melt the butter or margarine separately and pour it into the melted chocolate bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine and create a smooth mixture.
- Spread Chocolate: Line a cookie sheet with foil, then pour the chocolate mixture onto the foil. Use your hands or a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly across the pan to your desired thickness.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the broken red velvet cookie pieces and the mint M&Ms evenly over the chocolate surface. Gently press them into the chocolate to ensure they stick as it sets.
- Chill: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, break into pieces to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent burning; stir frequently during microwaving.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips with white or dark chocolate for different flavor variations.
- Use a spatula to spread the chocolate if you prefer not to use your hands.
- Make sure to press toppings gently into the chocolate so they adhere properly.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
