Valentine’s Day Treats: Easy Chocolate Bark

Last updated on May 5th, 2024 at 02:28 pm

I love recipes that I can whip up in no time and have the kids get involved too. I am a busy mom and I don’t have time to make gourmet meals or hours making gorgeous treats at the moment while my kids are still so young. One day, I long to share those recipes with you too. Don’t worry, I am sticking around. But while they are still little, I like to spend as much quality time in the kitchen with them as possible. It helps teach them a thing or two in the process. I like to think they both like baking and cooking with me as much as I enjoy it.

Valentine’s Day Baking

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I know I said it but true. With holidays you know people will be searching for something delicious to make for the special day. I thought I would share our Easy Chocolate Bark recipe because the kids absolutely love making it and it’s a lovely Valentine’s Day treat. It’s cheap, easy, fast and fun to make with them. It’s also a sure winner among the kids for Valentine’s Day so the whole family can feel treated as well. Its a fun Valentine’s baking ideas for toddlers right up to tweens.

Chocolate Bark Variations

The great thing about chocolate bark is how adaptable it is. This particular recipe is for Valentine’s but it is super simple to change it up for Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July or just a birthday. If you’re making it with toddlers and don’t want to use gummies then you can replace them with any other pink, white or red candy that you like. Pink and white mini marshmallows look cute too.
