Storage
Store for at least 2 weeks at room temperature, wrapped in cellophane candy bags or in an airtight container with wax paper between layers.
Tips
- Use tempered chocolate, melting chocolate (compound chocolate) or candy melts for the dark chocolate trees. Using untempered chocolate will cause the trees to get white spots, called bloom, when the fat in the chocolate separates onto the surface.
- Cut the bark at room temperature to avoid shattering.

I hope your Thanksgiving was lovely and that your mashed potatoes turned out! It's so nice that you asked new family members about their traditions - it can be easy for that to be forgotten! Love this fun white chocolate bark - it's definitely perfect for Thanksgiving and to celebrate fall as well! Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party, Wendy!

Thanks, April! The mashed potatoes DID turn out this year, thank goodness! I redeemed myself after a dismal attempt last year. 🙂 As one's family expands with in-laws or future in-laws, taking the time to include everyone is so important. I want everyone to feel welcome and loved. 🙂 Thanks for hosting Hearth and Soul. There are always great ideas there!
