Save A festive spin on classic smores, this easy chocolate bark combines graham crackers, marshmallows, and a sprinkle of holiday cheer for a delightful sweet treat.
I love making this smores bark during the holidays since it brings back childhood memories and impresses guests with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Layer: 350 g (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 100 g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
- Smores Toppings: 6 full graham crackers broken into small pieces, 1 cup mini marshmallows, 1/2 cup red and green M&Ms or holiday sprinkles, 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Line a baking sheet (approximately 23x33 cm/9x13 inch) with parchment paper.
- Step 2:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet and milk chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth (Alternatively, use a double boiler.)
- Step 3:
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula to about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick.
- Step 4:
- Immediately scatter the graham cracker pieces and mini marshmallows over the chocolate. Gently press them down so they adhere.
