Crunchy, chocolatey and hard to put down are how I would describe this Leprechaun Bark DIY recipe! Seriously, they’re like something you’d get out of one of those boutique chocolate places, you know the ones with the chocolate-covered-everything? That’s what I’m talking about! Whip up a batch of these for your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and you will not be disappointed!
Delicious St. Patrick’s Day Treat: Leprechaun Bark DIY Recipe
A lot like that ‘Christmas crack’ or even ‘ghetto toffee’, these are just as irresistible but definitely a step above in terms of ingredients! That being said, they’re a simple recipe that you can DIY in your own kitchen no problem at all. With a few basic baking ingredients you can make a stunning St. Patty’s Day dessert hardly anyone will be able to turn down.
Melted Chocolatey Goodness in Every Bite
Milk chocolate chips, caramel nibs, mint chocolate candies and even some mint sandwich cookies make this recipe pop! The top of this chocolate bark resembles a mix of white chocolate and green mint that imitates a streak of emerald green that looks super festive in your spread and leaves your guests speechless, (but certainly asking for seconds!)
Perfect for any Occasion
What’s cool about this DIY recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile! You can swap out the minty ingredients for other flavors including candied fruit or even nuts. The pretzels will still be there to provide an incredible crunchy texture while the melted chocolate takes care of the rest.
How Long Does it Take to Prepare?
This St. Patrick’s Day goodie only takes about an hour and a half until it’s ready to enjoy. That is, after you’ve got all of your ingredients together. The chocolate bark has to sit in the fridge for around an hour after it’s all combined in order to take a hardened form that can be cut up, served and enjoyed!
