4th of July Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark Recipe

Want a dessert that screams USA! louder than a bald eagle at a fireworks show? This Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark is the sweet, swirly, star-spangled treat your snack table needs. It’s easy, festive, and guaranteed to disappear faster than your uncle at a 4th of July cleanup. Let’s make some patriotic magic—no pledge of allegiance required.

With just a few ingredients and zero baking required, this bark is easier to make than deciding which BBQ side dish to eat first. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to eat chocolate in the name of patriotism.

Step 1: Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Begin by melting the semi-sweet chocolate morsels. You can do this in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 3: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared tray, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 4: Allow this layer to harden completely. You can speed up this process by placing the tray in the refrigerator.

Step 5: Melt the white chocolate morsels using the same method as before. Once melted, pour it over the hardened semi-sweet chocolate layer.

Step 6: Let this white chocolate layer harden completely before proceeding.

Step 7: Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts separately. You can use small piping bags or a spoon to drizzle each color over the hardened white chocolate layer.

Step 8: Use a toothpick to swirl the colors gently, creating a marbled effect. Do this before the candy melts harden to ensure a smooth pattern.

Step 9: Sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles and M&Ms over the top while the candy melts are still slightly soft to ensure they stick.

Step 10: Allow the entire tray to harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator if you’re in a hurry.

Step 11: Once fully set, lift the bark out of the tray using the edges of the parchment paper and break it into pieces by hand.

Step 12: Your colorful chocolate bark is ready to be served! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

And just like that, you’ve got a festive, star-spangled treat ready to impress! Whether you’re serving it at a backyard BBQ or sneaking bites during the fireworks, this Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Bark is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. So go ahead—snap, snack, and celebrate like a true dessert patriot!
